So it turns out I should do something with computers. Or art. Preferably both. Shocking!

Not too subtle, this quiz, though: “How would you like a career which involves being interested in sales?” Hm. Wonder what kind of careers will be recommended if I answer yes to that?

I remember back in high school, playing with what must have been an early version of this same sort of thing: budding little computer nerd that I was, I started reverse-engineering it, trying out different responses to see how they’d affect the results.

I don’t remember what careers it actually did suggest for me, but I do recall that no matter what your input, one of the high-ranked suggested career paths was always “warehouse manager.” There must have been a shortage of warehouse managers that year.
