Forget what you want to do. Think about your abilities and come up with a job you would be best suited for (whethere you would hate teh job or not).

Personally I would be great as a stripper for the blind - highly sexual and loves being nude, but and no fun to look at. :cool:

Alternatively, I am good at video games and snowboarding so if there was a job where I could alternate between testing new products from those two catagories out, then I would fit in there.

More realistically I could probably be the best freaking database administrator this planet has ever seen if I didn't dislike it so much.

thats a tough one.
The answer would likely get me a warning.

Find the flaws in ideas. Or just playing video games. The latter would be more fun.

Oh I just thought of another one. I love being an "idea guy" and coming up with new products, or names for things, or solutions to problems (which is probably why I am a programmer). I always come up with good ideas for products especially. I should be rich by now but am just learning how to patent and market ideas, so it will be a while before I am successful.

Well.....

El Presidente.




To be more honest, the one I hope to attain......SAW gunner :D

I could... plot... things. Like say you're an author, and you're all out of story ideas, well along comes me and I help you figure something out and then you write it! I could do the same for movies, or video games, or make up characters for people, or build worlds, or something. Yeah.

And I dunno... maybe an author or a graphic novel...ist. If I could actually motivate myself consistantly to write/draw.

i'd be a great food/restaurant critic cos i have a good sense of taste, love food, and am very critical ;)

other than that, tests tend to say architecht or artist. the former is fine, and i'll probably be pursuing that... but the latter... well, it would help if i could draw or paint, or otherwise do anything vaguely artistic :p

I'm kinda fat and sorta lazy, so...

I could test anti- foodstain products for couches, beds, chairs, hell, anything really

Photoshopping is an art. You've made images that made me question my sobrity.

Let's see...

Abilities: Lazy, fairly intelligent, good logic skills, best work done when up against a deadline.

Job best suited for: Music journalism. There's a reason I want to do it.

I'm best suited to be a Professional Procrastinator. It would be great to be paid to put stuff off! This is the creed I live by:

Procrastinator's Creed

1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.
8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.
9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.
11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.
12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.
13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
14. I will become a member of the ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator's Society) if they ever get it organized.

Photoshopping is an art. You've made images that made me question my sobrity.
lol! hehe ok... professional photoshopper then! oooooor... graphic designer! wait, that's my job!! :p


would like to be a photographer, but thats not the question is it :P

Heh, I'm actually going to career counselling next Wednesday--I took the testing a couple of weeks ago and got a sixty-five page report, but when I go in this next Wednesday, they'll tell me what's the best thing for me to do according to my abilities.

I'm hoping for nursing or epidemiology :D.

Good luck with that!

torturer (they wouldn't tell me they would just leave me alone in a room with someone for an hour that should be enough)

Research-level mathematician...I love math, and I love abstraction and logic so it's a natural choice for someone as interested in advancing the frontiers of science as I am.

Either that, or software engineer. Logic, abstraction, and math also come in handy there.

is any one looking for a messiah?

i think i would make a good messiah

i would also settle for just prophet if that is all you have open right now

You need the Sandwich Machine. I came up with this a while ago becuase I had the same problem. I'd come up with ideas or solutions or whatever but I didn't really want to go throug the hassle of building prototypes, getting patents and then getting Billy Mays to hawk my shit on late night cable shows. No, I just wanted the product to exist. I have other things I want to do. So I thought there should be a machine, a sandwich machine that I would give ideas to and based on the quality of those ideas it would give me a sandwich. Then someone else could haul off and do that idea so I can have it. And if it makes him or her rich then maybe they'll be compelled to come back and give me an even better sandwich.

I was thinking I could at least sell my idea (whenever I come up with one) to someone with the capital to start it up for a one time sum or 5% of teh profits, or possibly both.

Right now I am trying to get a sex toy idea off the ground. Damn it's tough! One company offered me and my partner 6 figures (but thats sellign full rights) for the idea but we think we can make millions if we can only get the cash to start it all off.

Bleh. You'll all hate me for this, but I'd be great at lawyering. I'm argumentative and find a loophole in anything I want to get out of. Maybe not exact qualifications, but having everyone constantly saying I should be one doesn't hurt or the laziness and willingness to defend a position. The only thing I couldn't do is tell an outright lie. I could imply and bend the truth to nearly the breaking point, but never lie.

Undercover cop.:D

I don't really talk that much in school, so people don't always notice me and they wouldn't expect me to do something that would piss them off. I think I'm pretty intelligent, although I haven't used my brain all that much in several years, so sometimes I can be stupid and I'm good at observing things around me if I'm left alone for long enough.

A spoilt prince, something akin to Paris Hilton. Or a proper Monarch.

Realistically, Economics and writing.

Job best suited for: Music journalism. There's a reason I want to do it.

People who can't write interviewing people who can't speak for people who can't read?

Ouch.

i could do being a jester pretty well - give me a silly hat, some music to dance to and a few drinks and i'll entertain you til you pass out from excessice mead and game consumption.

global Economic stimulator.

basically the Government gives me a Shitload of cash to buy what ever I wanted from when ever I desire.

Ouch.

You can thank the good Mister Zappa for that one.

I think I will just pursue the safe bet as stripper for the blind

I'm best suited to be the towel boy for the Brazilian or Swedish women's volleyball teams ;)

you do know how blind people "See" right?

Toy Tester, or Doorstop to the Stars.

That's the biggest selling point. :D Plus I never heard of anyone else whose a professional stripper for the blind so I'll have the whole market to myself. Low supply will mean big deman and high cost :P

what sort of job's good for someone with really good eyesight? the only one i can think of is a sniper but i have shaky hands. i seem to frequently astound people with my ability to see things that are a long way off or really small.

Spotter for the sniper

actually by definition, when you allow someone to use the blind's method of seeing, you cross the line of stripping and enter the area of Pandering... which is illegal.

Sex story author.

Happily for me, what I do already.

Spotter for the sniper
oh, and i also have an aversion to getting people killed.

That's discrimination. Well here in Vegas I imagine I could probably still get away with it.

*bows*

spotter for people trying not to get sniped?

People who can't write interviewing people who can't speak for people who can't read?
:confused: U sayd licke bad thang;)

Supervisor of Oxygen Quality Observations and Analysis -a very important job where I sit in my chair and monitor the air quality all day then analyze it as being either good or bad.

End of the day Observation and Analysis: The air in Reno is slightly chilly, with a breeze, good possiblility of rain, some nicotine levels and a vague scent of petunias. :D

spotter for people trying not to get sniped?
aha, good call. now to join some sort of resistance movement somewhere where people get sniped.

hmmm...I am good at spreadsheets (pivotting, macros and the works) but I hate number crunching, especially for others...so much so that I actually pretend that I suck at that to avoid being labelled "the spreadsheet guy":headbang:

I am good at reading fast and I like reading too. I guess I could do proof-reading and reviews etc.

oooh and I am good at PC based strategy games. hmmm....game tester sounds cool.:cool:

Sex story author.

Meh.

I am a sex story reader.:cool:

Bodyguard
Mercenary
Samurai
Professional Athlete
Professional Pimp :D

I honestly dont know, so Ill just go with "Screw getting a job". Yeah, that sounds nice.

1. Midwife (Midhusband?) When I did a career test during high school it was my top result
2. Director of a funeral home
3. Bartender
My Mom tells me I should drop out of graduate school and forsake my soon-to-blossom career in diplomacy to become either 2 or 3.

My qualities of being a good listener and comforting people, mixing a rational outlook and an appreciation for the miracles of life and death, all contribute to any of those three occupations.

Well.....

El Presidente.




To be more honest, the one I hope to attain......SAW gunner :D


i would re think the saw gunner thing,you strike me as quite excitable...you ned to have fire control...but i may be wrong.


as for myself...driving an earthmover would move me..i get a hard on just being near heavy equipment.

with qualifications like that you could probably do double duty as an earthmover and pornstar simultaneously

I'd like to do nothing. If I could just sit around and still get paid, that'd be the greatest job EVAH

Diplomat, or accountant

Research-level mathematician...I love math, and I love abstraction and logic so it's a natural choice for someone as interested in advancing the frontiers of science as I am.Or this, though I don't care about advancing the frontiers of science.

oh yeah you just made me think of another profession I woudl excel at: flufferOr this, if I can be choosy.

Clearly I am meant to shape the minds of tomorrow. I should probably be a teacher or guidance counselor.

Barring that, I think I'd make an excellent psychiatrist. :)

The Dog Companion.

Got a big dog, and are too lazy, and rich to take care of it?

I would be the perfect companion for your dog.
I'll walk him, let him crap on your neighbors yard...feed him all sorts of junkfood, throw a frisbee all day, until he's too tired to do it anymore...let him chase the cat all over the house..maybe even break a lamp in the process.

You may hate me, but your dog will absolutely LOVE me.
Isnt your dogs happiness worth a six figure salary, and a few broken lamps?
