When I was in high school, I took a career aptitude test. My #1 suggestion was "monk." I also got "rabbi" and "color consultant." The guidance counselor, to my query of "WTF?", said "You're good at math, go into engineering." So I looked up schools for that and CMU was highly ranked. I picked it and was accepted and I was locked in miserably to stuff I wasn't that interested in but was also expensive and hard. I took another career aptitude test at CMU and it said "musician" and "artist" and "writer." When I told my awful girlfriend, she told me I couldn't change my career. So I dumped her. And met my happy life in Pittsburgh anyway! (MC)
