This is that careercruising meme. Go to the site, put in "nycareers" as the username and "landmark" as the password, and take the "Career Matchmaker" quiz, then post your top ten results (or more). Like florence_craye, I correlated my skills with the career choices they gave me. I think it's funny that "Archivist" is a Very Good Match. My father would be proud. He COULD be reading this, if I post it publicly. Are you proud, PQ?
