IMHO the Myers Briggs is only good for helping a person figure what he would be good at and what he might like given his personality.
I took it toward the end of my career and it told me that I should be doing what I already had done (career wise). It was satisfying to see that what I liked (and was good at) was exactly what the exam said I should like.
Probably not a good idea for a company to administer the test to a job candidate...too easy to fudge.

#4 Auto Insurance is dying because cars are safer and therefore less accidents will happen.
Well, not if there are as many crappy drivers as there are now. How does making a car safer make crappy drivers drive safer?
Just curious.

Semiconductor Processor to DBA? This is surely possible. Both play keyboards all day, just with different results. If anything, DBA is more ‘fault tolerant.’ The actual overlap - job to job - for many careers is close to 90%. A doctor and a plumber for example, use almost the same troubleshooting techniques and customer relations skills. Jeffrey G. Allen, JD, CPC treats this topic at length in his fine book “How to Turn an Interview into a Job.” Specialized knowledge accounts for about 10% of any given field. It makes sense to motivate people you care about to transition into paths with more demand.

I once considered a job as an apprentice baiter on a fishing boat. They told me that after 6 months I could become a master baiter.
Been waiting years to use that joke.

Excellent idea. Now all I need — is to go shopping for the right hat.

I cannot stand SF and it has nothing to do with the homos but they sure don’t help. The Presideo was beautiful when it was under military care, I shudder to see what it looks like now.
Last time I drove through SF, I couldn’t believe how dirty it was.
Years before my father took me on the Alcatraz tour and the city was beautiful. It was also before they upgraded the cable cars, those things were death traps!

No career dies if it’s unionized. Don’t railroads still have coal shovelers on the payroll?

Big business. I have a buddy that works for a company that does overwriting and are hiring actuaries by the dozens.
