When I Grow Up

There has been a lot of conversation at work about What Comes Next, both for those of us who have opted to leave and those who have opted to stay (a 50-50 split in my department, which I think was unexpected).

A coworker just asked me if I could point her at one of those sites that does career assessment based on responses to questions, the sort of thing one does in high school when wondering what to study in college. I pointed her at SimilarMinds.com. While I was there, I figured what the heck and answered the questions. Here are the results:

I guess I have to be at least a little impressed with their results since it includes two of my last three roles at work: logistics consultant and computer analyst. My inclination to blog points at journalist. My hobby as an aerial dancer tilts towards actor. My (reasonably) successful portfolio management indicates investment broker is not unrealistic. Well, I guess I have my list of Where To Look as I let my brain wander the future. I might add Life Coach to that list...
