Overdue careers post (it's the last day of class and I've been procrastinating)

So, some of the jobs that I was matched up to with the career matcher profile were a university professor, a classroom educational assistant, a high school teacher, elementary school teacher, actor, musician and such.

I was certainly surprised by the university professor part... I've never thought of myself as a university professor type. If I were to be a teacher, I would like to be a grade six teacher, simply because my teacher for grade six was absolutely incredible, and I'd like to recreate the experience for a bunch of other kids.

I was also surprised at how far down the list musician was. I mean... they didn't even ask me if I played an instrument! I learned that it was because I had put that I didn't particularly want to work on weekends and evenings -times musicians do work- because I hope to get married and have a family.

Music is work? :O
The university prof part means that you are capable of it. Meaning that you are uber smart.
I think the test is flawed, since you could be doing the music stuff on the weekends, the concerts could be like a family outing.

True true... these tests are never 100% accurate... Michelle got a furniture polisher as her top job!

She would be good at it too. :P
To make something shine, one must shine themselves and have the ability to transfer some of that shining quality onto others or things. She has all the above.
