My high school paid for everyone to take some type of career aptitude test. Everyone got a list of various possible career choices. Burned in my memory now is that I scored "region 99" which apparently meant my personality type didn't fit any jobs. Or something. Like their magic 8 ball told me to try again.

My school did something similar. It recommended I become a fish monger.

Haha, did you ever try it out? Maybe it really was your life long calling.

I didn't, but should I ever feel the need to try it I have already watched the tutorial video.

I'm supposed to be a bartender, which i guess sounds better than what i actually do.

A friend of mine got the recommendation to be a pedicurist. Not a manicurist, not some general aesthetician, nope. Test wanted him to work with feet so badly ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Same story here. I didn’t pay attention and failed basic math. Suggestion: plumber.

I think I finally found what I was put on this earth to do: Knife goes in guts come out.
