    Default those tests for finding your 'ideal' career?

    i forget what they are called,
    but you know those questionnaires you can take with various questions and scenarios and then after you're done it kind of gives you an idea as to what general career path or field would be suitable for you?

    where can i take a test like this?

    thanks in advance

    WOW, my actual job (or anything close) doesn't even show up in the top 40! Surprisingly I've been doing this for nine years now and probably will until retirement.

    Apparently I should switch majors while I can. I'm in Geology but that did not appear anywhere on my list and I enjoy my field. Honestly, I found that those aptitude tests do not help very much, at least in my case.

    HA! my current career isn't even on the list of 40.

    doesn't necessarily surprise me. I don't like it much.
