If you answered mostly…

A. You are probably best suited for a career that allows you to be creative on a day-to-day basis. This includes careers in English, communication, fine arts and more. Pay is often not the greatest in these fields, but that usually doesn’t matter to someone in one of these jobs. You get more satisfaction out of doing your job well than you do about being paid large amounts of money.

B. You would be best suited with a career in STEM — science, technology, engineering or mathematics. These careers are usually high paying and require more than a bachelor’s degree — sometimes, you might have to get a doctorate because these fields are often competitive.

C. Your best bet would be to pursue a career in history, political science or criminal justice. You like to look at current events analytically and see how they impact the present and future. You likely have a clear understanding of modern politics and could succeed in a political career of your own.

D. You are suited for a career in a social science. This includes sociology, psychology, women’s studies, social services and more. You try to understand human behavior and why people do the things they do. You want to help other people, either individually or on a large scale for the greater good of humanity.
