Brainwaves of Sken

Okay okay, I was curious, so I did this meme you kids are tossing about like wildfire … er … is tossed. I KNOW I’ve seen people get fairly accurate results to what they’re doing, but I didn’t expect to get the same from mine.

Though, when I considered it after the fact, I realized that many of the questions they asked are exactly the questions I asked myself when I was considering a new career (back when I was doing network administration). So, I shouldn’t be so surprised.

Anyway, my list:

1. Film and TV Crew
(I was a part of one film company and two video editing companies, on and off set in a dozen positions)

2. Multimedia Developer
(My current title at work is Multimedia Editor)

3. Set Designer
(I’ve never done this, but I do take some time to consider the interior decoration of my home)

4. Costume Designer
(Stay Puft, Strongbad, The Peasant, The Flirty Nun, Chuck F …)

5. Lighting Technician
(One thing I think I will continue learning about until the day I die. It’s the sort of field you can become proficient in and never think you’ll master.)

6. Optical / Ophthalmic Lab Technician
(I’m fascinated by the human eye, but I’m totally uninterested in patient care)

7. Website Designer
(Hi. That has been my biggest marketable skill for the past decade.)

8. Special Effects Technician
(Digital effects? Sure. I’m not a squib kind of guy, though)

9. Computer Support Person
(First professional position, and my job from 17 to 21, if you count Network Adminning)

10. Automotive Painter
(No.)

11. Industrial Designer
(Oooh, sexy.)

12. Desktop Publisher
(I’d be good at it. Don’t know if I’m interested.)

13. Electroneurodiagnostic Tech
(Awesome!)

14. Welder
(I totally loved welding in middle school, and have gotten into it again in the past few months)

15. Cardiovascular Tech
(No thanks.)

16. Boilermaker
(Wow. What a job.)

17. Computer Programmer
(No, no, NO. Though it was my second ever desired job, right after Scientist.)

18. Sign Maker
(Applied for this, once.)

19. Power Plant Operator
(RED ALERT! RED ALERT!)

20. Technical Writer
(I could absolutely do this, with a little training.)

21. Tilesetter
(Only artistic tile work.)

22. Cartoonist / Comic Illustrator
(I’ve seen worse artists than I make it.)

23. Animator
(With some training, I think I could do flash-style animation. Don’t have the patience for traditional animation.)

24. Fashion Designer
(Highly unlikely.)

25. Actor
(No comment.)

I didn’t notice I could improve my results until after I closed the window of the test, and I just don’t feel up to doing it all over again.
