Lately I've been thinking of switching careers. I'm sick of sitting on my ass all the time doing work that, while being personally creatively stimulating, is not of much practical use to many people in the world. I'd really rather be on my feet, outside, using my hands to make something of lasting value. And I'd like to be more of a "real man" who could add a room onto his house, fix his car engine and hunt down his dinner. But I haven't really put any effort into thinking about what kind of change I could make, because, well, I'm lazy.
This afternoon I stumbled across a career quiz and thought I'd waste some time with it. So here are the top twenty recommended careers, with those I've seriously considered in bold:
- Mover
- Housekeeper
- Drywaller
- Plasterer
- Airport Ground Crew
- Hospital Service Worker
- Fruit and Vegetable Grower
- Professional Athlete
- Animal Caretaker
- Firefighter
- Stock Clerk
- Nursery / Greenhouse Grower
- Animal Trainer
- Ironworker
- Flooring Installer
- Stuntperson
- Dancer
- Zookeeper
- Painter
- Steamfitter
One of twenty. And I gave up on the dream of playing pro football when i was 18. I should just eat a gun now.
