Many of these involve ticky little work, which I do love, but I'm too slapdash to do all the jobs listed here where I'd need to be very precise and not fuck up. In fact, I've often thought I would be extremely happy as an electrician, if only that fucking up could electrocute me, or that some sort of machining precision making-things job or cabinetmaking would soothe my soul, if only I were the sort of person who was capable of actual precision. In computer jobs, you can fuck up, and then go fix it.
Alas for my career as a furniture finisher, which I would totally enjoy if not for the asthma.
Last year I was muttering extremely about apprenticing myself to a mechanic, which would make me super happy and I could think about writing while doing it.
I wondered if this quiz doesn't just salt itself with enough "web / business / computer techie" jobs to make everyone likely to take the quiz nod in agreement...
On the quiz I only lied once; I said that I was indifferent to writing. It is not quite a lie. I prefer writing that is not part of my job. Having writing in my job just makes me anxious.
I notice, though, that the top result for me is the job I've had where I was the happiest.
