Some of those are correct I guess, except for the activist one, but I still have no idea what I want to 'do with my life' one day. Scary. |

Funeral director and addictions counselor though...who knew? |

Sounds about right. But these fields are too hard to break into. I was once accepted into fashion design school but didn't go, because I didn't want to struggle forever while trying to become the next Dior. My cousin majored in fashion design and couldn't find work, so she went back to school to major in accounting. Damn, her job must bore her to tears. |

I love how the top 4 are mechanics but I can't tell a drill from a hammer - how the hell did that happen. However the ones I bolded do match my interests and are relatively high on the list.
I reviewed and changed six of my answers and got much better results this time. Probably should have thought more carefully about my answers. Again bolded items match me.

I love surveys. That probably should have been a question. How much do you love taking surveys? 1,2,3,4,5
So my top 12
1. Horse Trainer
2. Kinesiologist
3. Animal Trainer
4. Cartographer
5. Sports Official
6. Nursery / Greenhouse Grower
7. Athletic Trainer
8. Aquaculturist
9. Fruit and Vegetable Grower
10. Coast Guard
11. Mathematician
12. Physical Therapist
I see some trends - outdoorsy, interested in sports, maps and math
It came quite close to predicting what I studied in school, and it suggests to me that I should revisit those topics and see what I can do with them. |

They got it! It's number 7 but it's there.
ESL teacher didn't make my list at all because I put dislike for organizing or supervising other people. I guess I don't consider children "people".  |
