You Want Me to Do What?

So, ardentdelerium did this job meme thingy, and I was sleep-deprived and waiting for a page to load, so I did it too.

1. Go to http://www.careercruising.com.
2. Put in Username: nycareers, Password: landmark.
3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions.
4. Post your results.

Interestingly, the first thing to come up? I had no idea this job still existed. Apparently the term now refers to someone who erects and dismantles large pieces of machinery. Like, in factories. I find it hard to believe this is what I am best suited to do and I’ve never even heard of it as a vocation.

Then I noticed there was a little “education” button. When I listed the most advanced degree I’ve earned, the list changed to become a tad more accurate. I find this emphasis on sports interesting, however. Given that I am a clod who can jump maybe six inches off this planet, I find this a non-starter. Also, activist? Not really a job, imho …

Ha. I did it, too. Obviously, I did very well in choosing accounting for a career.
