The problem with quizzes

Your Career Type: Artistic
You are expressive, original, and independent.Your talents lie in your artistic abilities: creative writing, drama, crafts, music, or art.
You would make an excellent:
Actor - Art Teacher - Book Editor Clothes Designer - Comedian - Composer Dancer - DJ - Graphic DesignerIllustrator - Musician - Sculptor
The worst career options for your are conventional careers, like bank teller or secretary.


Here's how the conversation would go:

Me: I'm giving my two week notice.
Boss: What?
Me: I have to quit. My last day will be two weeks from today.
Boss: Next week is a holiday week, you're only working three days.
Me: Doesn't matter. I leave in two weeks.
Boss: Is there something we can do to change your mind?
Me: I have to do this.
Boss: You have to? Why?
Me: A blog quiz said being a secretary would be the worst career move I could make.
Boss: (looking at me like I've just grown an extra head or something) A blog quiz? (Deciding it's none of his business) What are you going to do?
Me: I don't know yet. There were lots of recommendations. I think I'll start with the Book Editor job.

LOL!! Love the conversation with your boss, L. :) I imagine mine would be pretty similar. Especially since I'm also the artistic type. Go AG's! yeah!

I'm the oddball of the bunch.

You are precise, scientific, and intellectual.
Your talents lie in understanding and solving math and science problems.

You would make an excellent:

Architect - Biologist - Chemist
Dentist - Electrical Technician - Mathematician
Medical Technician - Meteorologist - Pharmacist
Physician - Surveyor - Veterinarian

The worst career options for your are enterprising careers, like lawyer or real estate agent.

Mathematician? Errr, I don't think so.
This quiz scares me. :D

L..loved your conversation with the boss. He'll be impressed when you trot that out. ;)
