     I don’t really believe in career testing for the same reasons that I don’t believe that this test accurately determines whether or not anyone is fit for journalism. I got a 22. Although it’s not the best score, I know that I’m not ready to be a professional journalist yet, and I wonder if after two years of Journalism courses I could change my score if I took it again. It took me a long time to figure out what I want to do with my college education, and I still haven’t changed my major from psychology to Journalism, as a matter of fact. So although I’m still testing the waters with a major that does mean a lot to me, I’m not ready to throw in the towel. I may not completely agree that even a professional psychologist, let alone a standarized test could determine if I’ll ever be fit for Journalism in the future. But I am not ready to throw the towel in without putting my heart into it first. : )
