Looking forward to seeing some interesting jobs I haven’t really thought about. Bonus points if it’s an IT job.

    Try this book. “Discover What You Are Best At.” Linda Gail. First half of the book is a series of self administered tests to see what you are good at. Things like math, mechanical problem solving, interpersonal skills etc. Second part is a listing of jobs that use those skills.

          I can relate. Many books have changed my life in more or less strong ways. Simplify your life and 7 habits of highly effective people were two of them. I‘ll check it out. Have a good one.

      I’m curious about tests like this. I took a couple when I was younger and it pointed me a lot of places that had nothing to do with my current job. So I’m not sure how much value I place on them, but if it helps people point themselves in the general direction they want to go I guess that’s good.

        I was easily able to push the test I did in high school to exactly what I thought I wanted to do with my life. It said cook/chef which for me made sense at the time I was spending 3-4 hours a day in the school kitchen making the meals for the students and teachers.

        It definitely taught me I didn’t want to spend my life in a kitchen. Too many drunks and chain smoking assholes in kitchens.
