I just did the ohio career activity and it looks like I'm not too picky about what other kinds of jobs I might want to do. I narrowed the list down to 31 categories and of those categories, I think recreation leaders and zoologist would be the most fun. I think I'll stick with library school though!

The OCIS occupation match activity was fun. Of the seven results, only two (writer, director/producer) sounded appealing.
The only interesting headline from the Dispatch on the day I was born was "U.S. Condemns Reds Over POWs" (Vietnam related).

Good database: it realized I wasn't being truthful in answering some of the questions, and suggested I consider becoming a politician.

The most interesting results from my OCIS occupation match included police officer and sheet metal worker (50K and above salary).
