I Am Good for Nothing
Ever take one of those online career aptitude tests to see what you should be doing?
They often recommend stuff you would never have thought of.
Several months ago (or more), I tried one. Apparently, according to it, I should be in hotel management.
This evening, I tried two different ones.
The result for the first one was that I should be a criminal investigator. At the bottom of the list was a cook. Somewhere in the middle was firefighter or fire analyst or the guy that figures out why a fire started or something. So, I should cook things over a flame or figure out how fires get started. There weren’t even any questions about fire, so it’s not like I was answering questions like “Do you like fire?” with answers like “Oh, yeah, baby!” Not that that would have been my answer, but it seems like it assumed I like fire or something. But, pyrotechnician was not on the list. So, seemingly, I like fire but not too much.
After that, I took another test on another site. This one was long and involved and you wondered if it was ever going to end. Finally, it did end. I once I finally got through to the results page (after page after page of “offers”), well, the results are pretty much that I should go out behind the woodshed and shoot myself because apparently I’m good for nothing.
The only thing they did recommend was that I would be well suited to some sort of analytical position.
Which would probably mean I would die of boredom, if I didn’t find a nice spot behind the woodshed first.
So, according to these various tests, ideally, I should run a hotel, investigate crimes or shoot myself.
