And I work for a financial advisor.
WTF?
And they're not exactly realistic with their recommendations. How about a handy map of the career path, huh?
My problem is that whilst I'm tempted toward the writerly things, I'm very happy with my financial job and the paycheck I get from doing boring paperwork and client service stuff. So for now, the writing goes after-hours. *shrugs*

I really don't want to work in people's mouths all day, and if I'm going to work with dead things, I'd rather be a medical examiner. Though the podiatrist suggestion has its merits... My selection, while it has a theme (I think), is definitely a little more varied!
Funny.
If I became a special effects technician, I could start channeling Peter DeLuise in Wormhole X-Treme! Haha... oh dear...
BIGGER!

i've no idea what this means to me because i used to study fishfarming then went on an exchange that just kept going - studying international relations. and i like both fields extremely, yet have the esthetic sense of a gnat for most things - just like looking at pretty things. always the audience never the creator...
But more interesting is the jump from fishfarming to international relations! That's... a big change. :)
mmmm, themes. 8 of my top 10 were variations on "engineer" The other two? Elevator installer and Office machine repairer.
And, hee - well, it obviously thought you're very practical. Elevator installer sounds like the sort of job that sounds cool to a five-year-old. :)

10. truck driver
This is actually really funny because I really wanted to go into fashion design, particular costume design. I ended up getting a general Fine Arts degree at a liberal arts college, because I didn't want to go into at least $100,000 worth of debt to study Fashion at the art school here, even if it is a world class school. I also realized that I just don't have the drive and cut-throated-ness to make it in fashion. I do love clothes and fashion though. *sigh*
Truck driver is kind od of funny thrown against those other ones, but I really do love to drive and travel.
I can see the appeal of truck driving - at least, in theory. In practice, I suspect the crappy bits might outweigh the nice bits. Personally.
