So Margie included the results of a career quiz in her blog. It's from Career Cruising , (username: nycareers, password: landmark) .
I guess it's good the the three things I'm trained in are in the top ten, as are several other jobs I've done. Not listed here, though, are full-time stash wrangler or professional bargain hunter. Disappointing. ;)

Seem to be a number of my jobs/careers in there - scary!)
You've done VERY well! Mine was similarly pretty spot on (phew). But what is it with the Dental Technician thing? That was high up on my list too... I can't think of anything worse?! I also had Gunsmith in the top 10, LOL.
Thanks for the Daleks!!! Resistance is Useless!!!
Despie my best efforts I always come out as a teacher/professor career. Sadly, now I am a Labrador companion now!!!
Mine came up with my current job-social worker. But I could also be a dental technician. Do they think the world needs more cleaned teeth?
Aside from funeral director, I've probably have had to be all those with my kids at one point.
No wait...I've been a funeral director...we have a couple of hamsters die on us.
Yeah it really hit you spot on. I think the bad thing is mine is all things I'd LIKE to try but I took the "sensible" route through my tertiary education rather than going to art school which I probably would have loved. But with parents as artists I wanted a day job.
meh.. it wouldn't let me log-in =(
In other news, of the dvd purchasey kind (my favourite, you know) did you get the original hairspray on sale somewhere??
I've been keeping an eye out for it on various bargain tables...
I've been thinking about the jobs list - those of us who reckon our lists were pretty spot on are *cough* older than those of us who got a more varied list. I wonder if we chose the answers that most matched what we do. It would be interesting to see what we would have answered 20 years ago.
Kuka, I got "Hairspray" at JB HiFi. It was in their catalogue a couple of weeks ago. You're welcome to borrow mine, just as soon as I retrieve it from Spidey. :)
