Anyone know a good online career path test?

I tried one at http://www.livecareer.com but I smell a cash grab more then a tool to actually help people.

I still have no real clue what career path I want to take and a couple tests might help steer me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!

Go to the library or bookstore. Get a copy of Pathfinder by Nicholas Lore.

fuck those online tests.

First decision you HAVE to make is this: Do you want to do what you love or do you want to do what is most profitable?

You really have to ask yourself that and determine somewhat of a ration.

For me it is 100 percent profit. I run a computer company. I really don't like selling technology and services so much. I would prefer to run a nightclub. The thing is that the IT business is very profitable so I spend my time doing that.

Make that decision first and then start looking at jobs/business that fit your preference.

yea unless you are extremely lucky you won't jsut "fall into" something you love, chances are a little better that you will fall into something profitable, but only if you have a good work ethic, and some good connections. Find what you love and then be willing to chase a long term goal, or ask some rich guy what he does and bust your ass until you have a bigger house than he does.
