   Thanks for the links. I’m taking some of the free tests/quizzes now, just to make sure I’m in the right industries at the moment. Apparently, my dream job is something creative. I’m a writer, so I guess I’m doing something pretty close to that.

   Erin and Imee,
   Thanks for commenting. I think that these tests are just as good, if not better, than some of the assessments that cost money.
