Career Planning

So I was feeling a little bored and remembered Shu mentioning she did a career test the other day so I figured I'd give it a go, especially since I'm looking to switch jobs and such. It was pretty interesting to see how all the jobs were related to my undergrad degree somehow. Nice to know I picked the right major! Here's what I got:
