Probably an Assassin. I certainly don't hold any love for authority and I can easily distance myself from anyone I don't know. Compassion only exists if the person has earned the right, I guess.

Course, that's just a glamorous career that you can't exactly just stroll along and do like you might see in video games. I've always wondered just how easy in reality sniping someone else could be, if you look beyond having to get the equipment and also training to use a sniper rifle, of course. I remember once watching..possibly the funeral procession of the Queen Mother, and thinking just how easy it would be for a group of people or even a skilled sniper to just wipe out the royal family from a window, since London has many open streets and bridges (in some places, anyway) and good tall buildings. It's probably a lot harder than you'd think but sometimes crime appears to be so easy if you plan stuff out. Glad I don't actually have any real life friends, cause organised crime is somewhat appealing. I suppose.


Anyway other than an Assassin I guess I would make a fantastic ANYTHINGTODOWITHLOTSOFTYPINGHERE since I don't tire easily when typing, and I'm generally pretty accurate, not making mistakes often and writing messages with a fair speed. Typing a ton of words also doesn't phase me, in college we had to do this review thing on each genre of video game out there, I easily did 30,000 words, when everyone else barely made 5,000. I've written short stories in the past, and generally people have been positive about them, and a few of my tutors (well, all of them actually) have expressed the joy they feel when reading my work..like it's different from everyone elses somehow, and easy and enjoyable to read and mark. Seeing as they'll tell me this in front of the group of students I worked near, while I'd dig a mental hole to hide in, probably meant they didn't just say it to anyone.

Regardless, I'd probably make a good article writer for websites, too. Maybe.

Have you worked out all the plus and minus points of this profession? Does it all really add up? Hows the starting wage, whats the bottom line? Will you wear red or black on your first day?

Okay I'll stop, but obviously I am not cut out as comedian...

Absolutely.
Cost Vs. Benefit

Also, all these factors were taken into consideration to create different scenarios: pessimistic, neutral & optimistic.

Haha...

I wish I knew! I never really had a dream job. I just knew I wanted to make enough money for a good quality of life. But it seems that in order to get paid enough to have a good quality of life, you need to be a professional/expert, you can't make that kind of money just doing whatever. You need to actually be good at something, which is something I've always had a hard time with.

I've always struggled with this, just like I've struggled with figuring out which skills-based interests I'd be good at, and as a result of that I've had a hard time finding my identity and personality, what kind of person I am/should try to be.

I've never felt particularly good at anything, and have always been afraid that I am incapable of getting good at anything because of it.

Have you ever done a skills-based inventory that outlines possible career interests? Those can be helpful in helping to narrow down a possible career path based on your unique personality, hobbies, interests and skill-set.

No, I haven't. Do you know of any that I could try? I might as well give it a shot.
