Default Right Mel

All through school, whenever I took an aptitude
test, the results always came out to be whatever
I most wanted to do at that time.

Once I thought I wanted to be a draftsman(pre CAD days)
the results were high in art with a bit of science and
math thrown in. Best career choice - Draftsman

Then I thought I wanted to be a mechanical
engineer. On the test that year, I was high in
math and science but low in art. Best career
choice, you guessed it - Engineer.

I got a degree in Economics :)

I really did want the RIGHT answer for what
career to choose but those tests were no help.
I learned, not from aptitude tests, but from
some very good role models the importance of
focused action.

I also learned, much later on, that what you want
and what you are "good" it are two entirely
different subjects. Once you know what you want,
you can learn how to be good at whatever it is
you desire to accomplish.
