Now usually I would be incredibly opposed to adding a whatever the hell these traditional blog quizzes are now called (meme? What the fuck does that mean?) - however a few things struck me about this one:

First it offers up a few very cool career opportunities and actually covers quite a few things I'm doing with my life right now (I started up an independent production company a few years ago - for all you less than superb stalkers out of the loop - which is why most of the production/film/web based stuff is italicized and the improv takes care of the others).

Secondly one of these option is clearly not like the others (and would cause a high school teacher of mine to drop down dead of surprise). Can you guess which one I'm talking about? If you said Foreign Language instructor, you'd be right. I find this one particularly amusing since (except for 3 years of Spanish in 6th-8th grade - and fyi I ended up in the "fuck up" Spanish class god how I hated it towards the end) the only foreign language I know is Latin (four years of it in high school baby).
The reason I took Latin was because it was the only language offered that was not spoken in class after the second year (because it's a dead language technically -so it's never spoken - woohoo) - I knew there would be no way to bullshit my way out of learning either Spanish, French, Russian or whatever seeing as after the first year the classes were only taught in those languages (and in my high school you had to take 3 years of a language) - thus Latin was the best option. Admittedly my freshman year of college I started out as a Classics major though actually it was the subsection Ancient Studies, since that required no knowledge of either Latin or Greek - which I chose deliberately.

Still other than that option I can see where the derived all the rest from. In fact I'd love to be able to combine a few: A magician, lobbyist/politician for example would be loads of fun (really magician + any job would probably be amusing though).
