I rarely, if ever, post the result of memes and I am a bit late to the party with that career meme that has been going around, but the results were so odd that I thought I would paste them here with com­ments.  For those not in the know, my cur­rent voca­tion (firmware) is about half-way between a com­puter engi­neer and an elec­tri­cal engi­neer (although I only took a semes­ter or two of EE in col­lege, so I’m stronger on the soft­ware and dig­i­tal logic side of things).

1. Mechan­i­cal Engi­neer­ing Tech The first three are mechan­i­cal, which I find a lit­tle sur­pris­ing and con­fus­ing.
2. Aero­space Engi­neer
3. Mechan­i­cal Engi­neer
4. Agri­cul­tural Engi­neer Agri­cul­ture?  I’m lucky that I can finally grow a few veg­eta­bles with­out (all of) them dying.
5. Bio­med­ical Engi­neer I never did well in biol­ogy.  It was all the mem­o­riz­ing.
6. Com­puter Engi­neer This, I expect
7. Elec­tri­cal Engi­neer …and this as well
8. Engi­neer­ing Tech I’m not entirely sure what this is, but the “tech” makes it sound like a glo­ri­fied repair­man
9. Sta­tion­ary Engi­neer I have no idea.  Paper?  Unmov­ing?  Wait, Google tells me this is a build­ing HVAC engi­neer.  Not so much.
10. Physi­cist One of the things I always wanted to be
11. Astronomer Another thing I wanted to be, except for the mem­o­riza­tion
12. Chem­i­cal Engi­neer Sure.  The exper­i­ments were fun.  I grew up with Mr. Wiz­ard pour­ing things into other things.  I know that real life isn’t like that, but it’s fun to pre­tend.
13. Avion­ics Tech Again with the “tech“
14. Min­ing Engi­neer Yes, I real­ize I’m a geek, but I like the out­side.  Does play­ing Minesweeper give me an advan­tage with this field?
15. Geol­o­gist I guess…?
16. Com­puter Sup­port Per­son NO!  No, no, no, no, and NO!  “Have you tried switch­ing it off, then back on again?”  *head­desk*
17. Pilot Another thing I’d like to do some­day
18. Heli­copter Pilot Like above, but much more dif­fi­cult from what I hear.
19. Petro­leum Engi­neer Uhhh… not so much, thanks.
20. Power Plant Oper­a­tor Does it come with free donuts?  With sprinkles?

And now a few of the more inter­est­ing ones beyond #20:

22. Web­site Designer Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, hated it.
24. Com­puter Pro­gram­mer This is #24?!?
28. Model Maker No patience for this.
29. Motor­cy­cle Mechanic “Can” and “want to for a pay­check” are two dif­fer­ent things
32. Fash­ion Designer Ha!  HAHAHA!  Ask my wife what she thinks of this.
34. Car­toon­ist / Comic Illus­tra­tor Lack of artis­tic abil­ity, I believe, dis­qual­i­fies me from this par­tic­u­lar voca­tion.
35. Auto­mo­bile Mechanic See: motor­cy­cle
38. Explo­sives Spe­cial­ist YES!  NOW WE’RE TALKING!  BOOM!
40. Race Car Mechanic Fun, dan­ger, and red­necks.  Where do I sign up?
