The universe provides

I was just about to ask if there was some sort of reputable career-matcher out there (I remember going through a good one back in High School at the library, but my opinions have changed somewhat since then), and what do I find on my friends list but http://www.careercruising.com/?

Their list is below (put in Username: nycareers and Password: landmark to access it):

  1. Environmental Consultant
  2. Actuary - huh, that's one I wouldn't have thought of...
  3. Mathematician - I almost thought about doing this, in college.
  4. Planner - Could be interesting..
  5. Cartographer - Is that actually a viable field anymore??
  6. Statistician
  7. Operations Research Analyst - a what?
  8. Meteorologist - no thanks
  9. Environmental Engineer
  10. Federal Agent - this is my 'shocked' face.
  11. GIS Specialist - Sure, possibly.
  12. Business Systems Analyst
  13. Logistics Specialist
  14. Computer Programmer - Not likely, when I told it I didn't want to work insane hours...
  15. Market Research Analyst
  16. Community Worker - Ya think??
  17. Researcher
  18. Database Developer - Been there, done that, haven't been paid for it.
  19. Scientist - could you be a BIT more specific, please???
  20. Landscape Architect - Sure, that could be fun.
  21. Architect
  22. Certified Public Accountant - ??? I can't even do my own taxes...
  23. Economist
  24. Historian
  25. Corporate / Commercial Lawyer - Hahahahahahaha...
  26. Ecologist
  27. Astronomer
  28. Political Aide - Sure, because that's a nice steady job...
  29. Video Game Developer - Not bloody likely, I'm much too Old Sk00l...
  30. Quality Controller - How does one break into that field, anyway?
  31. Web Developer
  32. Building Inspector - Makes sense.
  33. Public Policy Analyst - I think that'd be more of a long-term goal career...
  34. Industrial-Organizational Psychologist - What does that even mean?
  35. Librarian
  36. Desktop Publisher
  37. Computer Animator
  38. General Contractor - Again, more specific?
  39. Management Consultant - Heh, not likely.
  40. Civil Engineer - Interesting, the first time I took it a lot more "* Engineering" careers came up
Bolded entries came up as "Very Good Match" for my skillset, all the rest were "Good Match". Interestingly, my skills/lack thereof didn't knock anything below "Good Match"...

Also, it didn't ask anything about expected income, and the questions about working evenings/weekends didn't seem to affect it much.
