1. Go to http://www.careercruising.com/.
2. Put in Username: nycareers, Password: landmark.
3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions.
4. Post the top ten results. (Had to post all forty, because dude, it is of the freaky.)

Bold = jobs I currently do or have done in the past, italic = jobs I've considered doing or wanted to do, and strikethrough = things I've no interest in doing. (ETA: I don't consider "jobs" and "paid jobs" to be the same thing. I've done many of these things for no money, but I've *done* them, for real, and that's a job to me.)

Creepy, kooky, mysterious, spooky, and, well, altogether ooky. This is very, very scary. My first "buh?" hits at #30.

Same thing happened to me. The first 8 out of 10 were jobs I've either held or considered pursuing. And many more were like that or things that I would indeed love but aren't really possible. (Like professional athlete)

Wow, that's super acurate. Mine was wildly not so. And because mine was so not even int he same realm as my current job I have completely freaked out all my co-workers with the possibility that I will now run off and try any of the 40 random possibilities!
