Career Matchmaking

Try this out:
Go to www.careercruising.com, enter user name "nycareers" and password "landmark". Then go to Career Matchmaker and see what comes of it.

My top ten, based on my answers, were:
1.Plumber
2.Furniture Finisher
3.Picture Framer
4.Bicycle Mechanic
5.Musical Instrument Builder and Repairer
6.Massage Therapist
7.Glazier
8.Sign Maker
9.Electronics Assembler
10.Upholsterer

But once I chose a level of education (university) that I was interested in (because I already had) they were:
1.Human Resources Specialist
2.Midwife
3.Occupational Therapist
4.Foreign Service Officer
5.Probation / Parole Officer
6.Clergy
7.Auditor
8.Speech-Language Pathologist
9.Special Education Teacher
10.High School Teacher

Then I cleared it back to the original and answered additional questions, it became:
1.Foreign Language Instructor
2.Translator
3.Naturopath
4.Paralegal
5.Editor
6.Adoption Counselor
7.Certified Public Accountant
8.Human Resources Specialist
9.Communications Specialist
10.Writer

This last list is probably most what I think of. Out of the 10, I think I've thought about pursuing 6 of them - not bad really. The second list I'd thought about 3 of them, certainly better that the first list of which I thought about zero!

What about you?
