I just took one of those career tests that are supposed to tell you what you would be most happy doing and therefore would be mostly likely to succeed at. Take a guess at what kind of career it thinks I should have. Anyone? Anyone? With a score of 99 out of 100, I should be a writer. What a relief. Now that I know this, the job search should pretty much take care of itself. . .
Oh, as it turns out, I should avoid sales. 3 out of 100. Three. And health care? 11 out of 100. Nursing? Brilliant. Just brilliant. I was in the low 90s for teaching/social work. Good thing I decided against going for that teacher certification now isn't it? Anyway, it seems that I know what I really want to do, but for my backup plans I just don't have a clue. And here are the ones that surprised me most. Clerical in the 60s and industrial arts in the high 70s. I'd be content as a secretary and a pretty happy handy man. Who knew?

Was it an online test?
What about substitute teaching?
tz: Yes. It was offered in collaboration with careerbuilder.com. And it was kind of transparent, so I don't know how accurate it really is. If I had wanted to, I could have easily answered the questions in a way that would lead it to tell me I should be a telemarketing phlebotomist. But why would I want to do that?
