Take a Briggs Meyer. Course that only tells you what you want now. How can you plan for thirty years from now? The best thing is to figure out what you don't want to be. Most people over a thirty year period grow to like more things. They seldom like something at forty that they didn't like at twenty. And I don't mean food--I mean if you can't stand blood at twenty--no doctor--you ain't gonna like it at forty. And if you want to be happy, as well as something, when you grow up--make the thing you love at thirteen your career. Thirteen is the cut-off point for your brain to become a genius at something. If you are musical at thirteen--duh. If you only read--writer. If your friends matter more than you--health sciences. If you can argue your parents into anything--attorney. If you are a self-involved ***--senator. If, you wonder every day about how things work or ask questions about what you should be--scientist.
