Nobody liked the poem? Well, scratch "professional poet" off my list of career possibilities, then. ;)

I like to use my career benefits to their full extent. My grad school tuition is paid for by my employer. And the university has a career services department at the B-school. One night recently I was having dinner with my cycling teammates and one of them mentioned the Kiersey temperament sorter. I took that test in college and don't feel that the results apply to the person I am today. I discovered that the Kiersey is offered free of charge to students, as well as the Holland Self-Directed Search. I started the process of taking the tests today. Next week I'll meet with a career counselor to interpret the results.

I do not think that the career path I have followed fits my personality that well, so this is the first step in finding what it is that I would enjoy doing for forty hours a week. One reason why I don't have a five-year career plan is because I can't predict anything other than further misery. I'm excited about this exploration. It will take some time for things to fall together, but they will.
