Advertising Art Director
DJ
Graphic Designer

As a teacher of Art, Photography and Media Studies having had responsibility for graphic communication in a previous school and a vague background in electronic music, that all seems pretty reasonable.

It would be if all three of those careers weren’t currently in freefall. Where are you going to DJ? To who? Who’ll be able to pay you?

Since I'm an employed (and pretty happily so) teacher right now, I hope that's a moot question.

But sadly no comfort to anyone actually in those professions...

Its comforting to know that if I need to stop working as a chartered surveyor & project manager I could always try horse grooming, carpet fitting & aromatherapy to pay the bills.

I think I was on track to become Chancellor of the Exchequer til I answered "strongly agree" to "I want to make things better for people".

Apparently I was born to be a Road Traffic Investigator. Literally nothing in the results relates to anything I've ever done, though to be fair in the 4 million or so jobs it suggests, there's definitely a few I could do, along with all the ones that I know I'm completely unqualified to. Though, of the ones I've thought of doing, I know at least half are in absolute crisis right now and not hiring in general.

None of the questions even touched on anxiety, depression, and being a part time carer though so..

I should look at being a plasterererer or a boxer. I have never boxed in my life, and I feel at 40, that becoming a professional boxer may just be a tad late.

I got Uniformed Services Paramedic / Teaching and Education, which is not too far off for me...

I work as an Industrial Health and Safety Trainer for Construction and Manufacturing sectors & as an Outdoor First Aid Instructor. In my spare time I volunteer for my local Mountain Team, which includes Swif****er Rescue for flooding incidents.

So pretty accurate for me.

Seem to be a lot of options for me in all disciplines from Actor to Royal Marine via Football Referee and Head Chef to Paramedic.

well- become an actor. That way you can pretend to do all the other things.

Said Emergency Services for me. I'm a Firefighter so hope I don't get made redundant as my prospects are limited!

As with Molgrips I got a list so expansive as to be useless - my favourites after answering the additional questions: Cake Decorator, Horse Groom, Aroma Therapist and the ubiquitous Boxer.
