3. Director of Photography
4. Architect
5. Project Manager (not too far off from what I do)
6. Welder
7. Tilesetter (done it - not that good at it)
8. Boilermaker
9. Photographer (a hobby)
10. Sprinkler System Installer
11. Industrial Designer (the rest of my job)

13. Cabinetmaker (worked in a cabinet shop)
14. Interior Designer
15. Exhibit Designer
16. Vending Machine Servicer (the glamour!)

19. Tool and Die Maker
20. Director (Watch me! It's so simple! Give me the playback! Watch me, faggots!)

That was the basic test. To the right of the results, there is a part where you can refine your results. I selected my level of education and it re-figured them. Then I answered the "My Skills" part. It told me how good a match each career is.
