...but I want to be a Paperback Writer...

The career meme...
1. Go to Career Cruising, www.careercruising.com.
2. Put in Username: nycareers and Password: landmark.
3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" quiz.
4. Post the top twenty results.
5. Put the careers you have seriously considered in bold.
6. Italicize any that are part of your current job/career.


1. Costume Designer
2. Set Designer
3. Special Effects Technician
4. Website Designer
5. Desktop Publisher
6. Cartoonist / Comic Illustrator
7. Animator
8. Fashion Designer
9. Sign Maker
10. Multimedia Developer
11. Makeup Artist
12. Director of Photography (I mean, geez, I went to college for this...)
13. Magician
14. Artist
15. Graphic Designer
16. Computer Animator
17. Critic
18. Casting Director
19. Plumber
20. Comedian

Please note that none of these have anything to do with my current job. However, it kind of worries me that these came in below the top 20...and under PLUMBER:

21. Writer
23. Musician
24. Composer
26. Print Journalist
33. Film Editor

Note that I call being a writer a career, as well I should. ;)


On the other hand, now I'm wondering if the people on the website itself started the meme, as they're probably getting an absurd amount of hits today because of this meme...
