Hey even got "laboratory technician" ^^
I'd almost say you should do that, as it's fun and interesting....But, even though it's still a bit hard to see that based on the little info it says there, it seems to be of a lower level then what I do.
And if that's the case I wouldn't recommend it, unless you do another study to get higher up afterwards.
Otherwise you have a chance the only thing you'be doing is routine analysis of blood samples or so in a hospital or similar.
(AKA a lab slave, as some call it)
That's fun if you aren't bothered doing the same old thing over and over again without any suprises, but it really wouldn't be the kind of work for me.. (I stick to actual R&D :) )
Chemistry students are of the same mentality actually, they seem to like/prefer the certainty of keeping it to things that are already known at times when creating certain substances. I would never be able to see the fun in that, but for someone thats a bit curious and has a taste for knowledge that is to be expected I guess.

But I doubt you where concidering that anyway ^^;
You really seem to be more the type for airplanes or related, you have quite the obsession in that.
And you will work a lot better and with more enjoyment doing work that lies close to a certain obsession or thing you love.

After all, it may be the job you'll be doing for the rest of your life.
It's interestign that "intelligence officer/analyst" is also in the list though..

That would certainly be interesting jobs as well, to say the least.
But i'm sure you have at least some idea of what you would like most out of this list ^^
Either way, you got some nice possibilities for a suitable job if we can believe that test to be fairly accurate.

It's just a possible option right now, but I might send for an information pack ^^ I'm not really very science-oriented, so I'd probably go for one of the more IT/intelligence-related positions.

Of course, ALL positions in the Armed Forces require a couple months military training first ^^; I'd have to undergo that. But it would be good for me.

So yeah, definitely an option :)

Dude, I can actually see you working in some of those jobs o.o

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

Yeah? ^_^ Which ones in particular?

[shaboba330.livejournal.com]

The ones that focus on monitoring intelligence... I dunno why really, I just picture you being good at something like that.

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

Well, since those are the ones I'm most interested in, that's KICK ASS ^^ Thanks Matt. ::Hugs::

[shaboba330.livejournal.com]

You're welcome ^_^ *huggles* you totally should work towards something like that if it's what you wanna do; I'm sure you'd be great at it if you put your mind to it.

Sound like interesting career choices, not really for me but hey, it's your choice, go for it! ^^

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the support, Leon ^_^

You're welcome ^___~

O_O Intelligence Officer, aka SPY!!! Jai going on crazy Splinter Cell on people would be absolutely the coolest thing ever!

Well, I realize you wouldn't be breaking necks and such... But it's still the highest-paying one on there, and probably the most fun, right? "Secret.. Agent Man! Secret... Agent Man!" XD

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

:D I take it you're supportive, then?

[sphix.livejournal.com]

Oh, very much yes... Plus, everyone's careers would go hand in hand. You would spy on them, Jei would distract them with her feminine wiles, Chase would be the ninja we send in to bug the place, and I would beat the crap out of and subdue and arrest them! IT'S PERFECT XD!

[flyboy-fox.livejournal.com]

XD Sounds like a plan!

McGee: No fighter pilot results? :/

I'd rather stay on the ground where I'm moderately LESS likely to get blown into dust particles :P
