This semester is my second at BYU-Idaho. I am taking a good sized load of 14 credits. My classes are as follows: Science Foundations (Science 101), Middle East Foundations (International Studies 202), Foundations of Humanities (Humanities 201), American Foundations (American Heritage 101), CIT-138 (Microsoft Applications), Business 100 (Intro to Business) and Religion 121 (Book of Mormon 121, the first half of the BOM).
I'm really excited about all my classes. They are all lots of fun. My only complaint is all the reading, like 20 pages for each class lots of reading. Sure I only have class Monday, Wednesday and Friday but it still makes things difficult. I work 8 hours a day on Tueday's and Thursday's, I also have to work Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday watering plants on campus. (I work in the greenhouse and take care of some big plant containers on campus.) Also I have a calling for church too. I am the ward I-Learn specialist. (I-Learn is like an online site through the school, each class has a site and our teachers post things on it. The wards here on campus are getting them now too.) I have a lot going on during my day. AND I LIKE IT!!!
Now for my business class, we had to take a career aptitude test, and pay for it. (grrr) I hate them to begin with because it is such a sham. Can a test really tell me what I will be? Anyway, I took one. And it tells me I am in the wrong major!!! I am freaking out now. What if I am? What do i do? I am wiggin' out over here!
Here are the results, shortened of course. It says i should "pursue" the following:
attorney, financial planner, hotel manager, manufacturer's representative, realtor, CEO/ President, school superintendent, media executive, bank manager, insurance agent, retail manager, hospital administrator, nursing administrator, fashion designer, translator/ interpreter, restaurant manager, chef, electrician, agribusiness manager, landscape architect, and/ or an architect. The only thing it says to avoid is a systems analyst, whatever that is.
Now for the question portion of my blog. Do any of these sound like something i should do? Cause aparantly I am in the wrong major. Oh, I should probably tell you my major. I am a business management major with an emphasis in marketing.
Any helpful hints?

I personally think that those question aptitude things are a crock. Especially if they make you pay for it. I think you can do whatever you want to do. If you honestly truly want to do something you'll make it happen. A questionaire thingy isn't going to. Good luck!
If you are in Business Management/Marketing, then it sounds like you can choose a number of careers from that list. Keep on keeping on and don't be surprised if you decide to change your major. Then don't be surprised if you get a job in a completely different field. Just be careful when listening to ANY professor talk to you about the middle east.
