I've taken career tests and in one very long extensive one, I
   came up with the ones I expect to find like Psychologist, Coach,
   Counselor, Rabbi/Priest/Minister - I would always see those...

   ...but this test had a surprise for me in the #1 spot:

   Middle School Teacher, Gifted/Special Ed.

   It's logical. Who typically in life is at a perpetual state of
   uncertainty? The middle schoolers who are gifted and those who
   don't "fit in" in other ways (they call them "slow" - but
   they're not slow at all.. they're nonconformist).

   In short, I work well with people who don't fit into the bell
   curve or the 'norms". Whether "too smart for their own good" or
   "Too slow to follow" - or whatever awful things people say about
   the non-conformists.. I relate to them and understand, no matter
   whether the're kids, adults - the age doesn't matter. The human
   phenemonon is the same.

   Yet, I haven't gone into academic teaching yet. It's on my
   bucket list of maybes.

   But what I do *instead* is I try to teach everywhere I go. Since
   I'm online as much as possible, that's what I do. It's not that
   I _know_ anything more than anybody else - I DON'T - but Itreat
   each person as unique because each person *is* unique.. and when
   I feel the need, I give 100% of my attention and energies to try
   to help.

   Still, even though I took some child psych classes when I was
   18-19 and some elementary education courses in my late 20s, I
   never managed to finish college. Thankfully, there's always
   money in computers and also in running your own businesses - so
   I never regretted it.

   But teaching is definitely one of those life-paths I *could've*
   taken. And so, I did - but on the Internet instead of a
   classroom. Been online since 1988... since I was 16 (I'm 43 now)
   - so , yeah, I think I'd have tenure by now I'm sure tongue
