I found this book the other day at Borders. It was called something like "what business should I open?" I didn't buy it, because I'm a cheap A lately. But I got the gist of it. You take a quiz, it tells you your general strengths etc. It was fun.
I scored higest in the "Advisor/Counsler" section. Which basically means I should be a therapist of sorts. Pretty accurate I think, being as though I went back to school for the ump-teenth time to study PSY. I would still love to do this, but kuh kuh kuh katy dosn't love school and plus I don't want to go through another 6 yrs of school to start my own practice. It's too overwhelming right now. The idea is good though. I take from this, that I like to give advice. Basically, I think I know it all.
I tied second place for "Builder/Creator" & "Organizational/Administrative"
I think the combo of the last two is a good one. It says, your'e artistic and creative, but you also pay attention to detail. I think most artists lack any admin still and vice versa. It's a right brain left brain thing.
So, the next part was to brainstorm ideas you've had and to ask people you know what they think you should do. The idea is that you spout off an idea, it never happens, you forget, but your friends remember.
So, are here are some of my many hairbrained ideas over the years. Yes, I know some are a little odd, but go with it. What do you think I should do?

whatever you do, do something where you aren't beholden to another person's whims (like the personal shopper, yick) You know you're independent enough that doing someone else's tedious jobs would get wearisome.
i see you doing the graphic design thing. you were so passionate about that industry...just not that job. i think that's your calling. also, is there such a job that helps others come up with businesses they should have? because that was a kick A list kate. :)
