  4. My score was 10/10. Out of all the jobs i think i would maybe consider becoming a radiologist or a meteorologist. Think those are the most interesting, and would work best with some of my skills. The fact that was new to me was that someone who fixes things that go wrong on a film set is a gaffer. I was lucking that my guess was right. I ended up guess randomly at the end of that question.

It'd be cool to be involved with a movie but I wouldn't want to do the special effects. Geography's okay and all but I don't think I want to do it for a living. A choregrapher I would like, not saying I'm a very good dancer though... A meterologist wouldn't be very fun for me. I could care less about weather. My cousin's going to college to be an architect. Too much math for me... Am I missing anything? I think so but I can't remember anymore so... yeah... 3. I didn't know a special effects person was called a gaffer.
