Yesterday, well, by the time I finish writing this it will be yesterday. We had to take sort of a career aptitude test at my school. For those of you who are not framiliar with this test, it's basically something you do online. You set up an account and answer all these questions and the test, it seems quite accurate actually. The more questions you answer, the better. This test asks things such as, "Would you like to work in a job that involves working co-operativiely/in a team." And you can either answer Dislike, Dislike very much, Does not matter, Like, or, like very much and you just check them off and all together there's about a hundred questions. It gives you an idea of what education level you need, your possiable wages, and interviews with people of that certain profesion.

So I took the test, a couple times and essentially this is how my result played out:

Interest Rank

1.Chiropodist
2.Podiatrist
3.Massage Therapist
4.Editor
5.Criminologist
6.Forensic Scientist
7.Pharmacologist
8.Pediatrician
9.Chiropractor
10.Pharmacy Technician
11.Microbiologist
12.Neurologist
13.Doctor
14.Oncologist
15.Obstetrician-Gynecologist
16.Nurse Practitioner
17.Family Practitioner
18.Translator
19.Radiologist
20.Scientist

Some pretty interesting choices that I would have never thought of picking. There was a couple on my list(this is the top 20 list they provided me with I have a top 40 though) that I found unusally odd and made me think.

For instance; singer. This is why people go on American Idol, because career aptitude tests like these tell them they can sing.

Another suprise one was an explosives specialist. HAHA are you kidding me? People blow stuff up FOR A LIVING? Hah, my parents would be so proud, their lovely daughter, did so well in writing classes and in science classes, blows things up for a living. That's awesome.

My kid's a doctor.
OH YEAH WELL MINE BLOWS STUFF UP.
Oh, how that would be, a priceless moment.
