Do you ever wonder if the course you are doing now is the right course?

Every website I have been to, to answer some quiz to see if the course I am doing is right for me.

Do you see what I see too? The top two choices is similar to the course I am doing now in a way, Accounting and Information Systems.

"You would be very happy in a career that utilised your level-headedness, and allowed you to work mainly on your own. You want a career that allows you to stimulate your senses and your mind, without having to be involved with lots of people. Some careers that would be perfect for you are:

You like working and being alone. You like to avoid attention at all costs. You tend to keep to yourself, and not interact much with the people around you. You enjoy spending time with a few a close friends. You like to listen to others, but don't like sharing much about yourself. You are very quiet and private.
You are very practical, and only act after thinking things through. You don't like being forced to answer quickly. You have to evaluate the situation completely. You make decisions based on what you can verify with your senses.
You like to be involved deeply in one or two special projects. You like to be behind the scenes. You are very logical and fair. You feel you should be honest with others at all costs.
You trust what is certain. You only like new ideas if they can be practically applied to the situation. You value what is real. You use your common sense. You like to utilise the skills you have instead of learning new ones. You are very specific and detailed when writing or talking to others. You follow directions well. You like things to be laid out for you to do instead of working them out for yourself. You like decisions to be made. You don't like things to be left in limbo. You like to know what you are getting into before you commit to something.
You like to focus on the here and now. You enjoy completing projects. It is important for you to achieve and succeed. Therefore, you believe in working hard and playing later. You like to set goals and work towards them."
(I'm surprised this one didn't say to become an Accoutant).

"This questionnaire is designed to get you thinking about the sort of jobs that might suit your style.
John Holland's model of vocational choice suggests that people with particular interests and styles tend to favour certain types of jobs. Holland described six main types of person:

* Realistic
* Conventional
* Social
* Enterprising
* Artistic
* Investigative

Knowing the types you most (and least) fit can help you think about the types of role that may suit you.
Read below to find out what careers you seem to be suited to based on your results in the test:

Investigative
Your results suggest that Investigative type work might suit your interests and preferences.
Investigative types prefer thinking to action, they like working with information and may prefer working with ideas rather than with people. They tend to like jobs in which they can research, analyse and solve problems (or come up with new problems!) and prefer using their brains to their interpersonal skills. Typical roles that suit Investigative types are scientist, engineer, laboratory worker, computer programmer, pharmacist and vet.

Conventional
Your results suggest that Conventional type work might suit your interests and preferences.
Conventional types are happy to work within systems and large organisations and tend to focus on accuracy and efficiency, preferring to know what is expected of them. They tend to like things to be organised and predictable and are often involved in roles that involve recording, sorting, documenting and organising. Typical roles for Conventional types include the range of administrative and clerical roles (e.g. in the government and financial sectors) as well as accountancy, banking, bookkeeping, secretarial work and some inspecting roles.

Realistic
Your results suggest that Realistic type work is less likely to suit your interests.
Realistic types generally prefer action to words, they like physical activity and may prefer working with things to working with people. They tend to favour jobs where they can work with their hands or produce things, and often like outdoor work. Typical roles that suit Realistic types are gardener, mechanic, driver, electrician, farmer, sportsperson, skilled trades, labourers and some engineering and military roles.

Social
Your results suggest that Social type work is less likely to suit your interests.
Social types like roles that focus on helping, teaching or supporting others and very much prefer working with people to working with things or ideas. They tend to prefer working in teams and like to feel they are doing something useful. Typical roles for social types include teacher, counsellor, nurse, minister of religion, clinical psychologist or police officer.

Enterprising
Your results suggest that Enterprising type work is less likely to suit your interests.
Enterprising types like persuading and influencing people as well as controlling, managing and selling to them. They like to take a lead and are often quite motivated and ambitious but may be impatient and can find rules and detail frustrating. They tend to favour roles such as salesperson, manager, estate agent, supervisor, lawyer, advertising or marketing executive and often like positions that have status and prestige.
This brief questionnaire can't tell you exactly what you should do. It only suggests work areas to think about that may match the way you like to work but it can't tell you whether you have the skills and qualifications for these jobs."

I went to some other websites before but I forgot which websites they are but they were all saying that I should do Accounting and Computing types of jobs. So have I chosen the course that was right for me then? I don't know as this course is way too hard for me, or perhaps I'm at a university which is too high standard for me?

-----------------

Today, I woke up at 12pm so I slept for 15hours... well sort of less since my sister and brother was screaming at each other at night time, grrr >=( I was so annoyed when I kept getting awaked by them two, I mean once okay but twice? I don't think so! When I told my brother off about the situation for talking ever so loud at night when someone is trying to sleep, he goes and says: "Serves you right, now you know how I feel when I tell you to be quite at night". What the 'eck? How flipping mean is that?!! I don't do it on purpose! I quieten my voice at least when he tells me to be quiet. But it was nice sleep from no sleep in 2nights in a row, well okay, about 3hours sleep and 2hours nap then ^_^.

I only got woken up by my aunt asking me to look after my cousin for a 2hours before her lesson at ballet. It was kind of weird, she didn't eat much at lunch time.
