I notice that the best skill match was with Cartoonist. ...I can see it now... Illustrator also makes sense.
Clearly all that time with those markers has had an effect on you, and I don't mean the fumes. Hm, can't help remembering that four years ago you were thinking about how much you loved to play with numbers, and now I'm guessing you're thinking about how much you love to play with pictures. I'll bet you still love both things.
In that context I think cartographer sounds neat, as it might be a nice bridge between your precision and your visual orientation. Architect comes to mind, too...
Architect came to mind for me, too, but I don't think it was anywhere on my list. Didn't save the survey, so I can't look back to see why it wasn't there. It's something I was vaguely contemplating a few years back as well, but I was turned off by some feedback from a friend about how very many years one has to suffer through before ever getting to do anything creative.
Sign Artist was actually in the top 10 as well until I added education level. Then it dropped out, along with Hairdresser and a couple of other things.
Oh, sure, sorry! I've seen this on so many LJs already I figured it was passé ;).
1. Go to CareerCruising.com. 2. Put in Username: nycareers, Password: landmark. 3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions. 4. Post the top however many you feel like results.
That's pretty funny. I think I'll have to go to chimney sweep school now! Clearly they saw that I enjoy being outdoors :) I like how "zookeeper" and "nanny" are right next to each other.
I'm not sure about the dancer and magician, but the rest of it is pretty good! :) I'm probably already doing what #2 says, I think... Though Disc Jockey was #32 and I've already done that... Not a bad little test!
And for you, being a cartoonist and the next option of statistician! Now those are quite some different options! :)
Oh, and I just have to say, the phrase "When I grow up," coming out of your mouth, helplessly casts me back to your four-year-old self, the one who could wrap me around her little finger. *sniff*
Ummm, gunsmith? Does that mean you make guns? I think I'll stick with numbers 1 and 3. Number 2 is also working with food, but I guess there was no question about how much you like cutting up dead animals... A lot of these seem really strange to me.

Hey, Steph!
I glanced at your list and really expected #3 to be Candlestick Maker :)
It changes things up quite a bit when you put in your level of education, which I'm guessing would take out things like 12 and 17. Really cool that cooking came out on top, though :)!
