Interesting. I like how many artistic endeavors came up for me (cartoonist, artist, graphic designer, comptuer animator, etc.) when I have absolutely no artistic ability (don't ask my mom: "he draws beautifully") and would have a very short career in those fields. You know, from getting fired for incompetence.

Desktop publishing is probably the most rewarding thing I do of all the jobs I currently have. So that's cool it's #1 and probably reflects what I truly enjoy doing. Not that I make any money at it.

And it's nice to see my actual job (Librarian) appear on the list at all, even though it's lowly #27 out of 40 items. Strange to see Library Technician higher than Librarian, as I've never done any Library Technician work. I guess this is supposed to show my interests and not necessarily my work history, though.
