Career test? I can tell. Just show me the job and bank statement of the parents.

Yum! Who is that?

ACT, the organization that developed the ACT college-entrance exam, will start testing the tool in the fall. It will be available to schools starting in 2014.The tool tracks students' career interests, academic performance and progress toward goals.

What goals for a 5 or 6 year old might look like:

This is ridiculously inefficient.

It would make much more sense to instead raise the children in some sort of artificial womb, and with a correct combination of drugs we can dull and simplify a sufficient portion of the population to perform the menial tasks. Since they are dull and simple, they will enjoy their menial tasks and not think they could do better. We can train them for their assigned jobs from birth.

A small percentage of the fetuses will have the opposite done: made more intelligent by using advanced science. We could call them alphas.

This would obsolete the need for career tests.

Thanks.

As a parent of small children with the crushing weight of college tuition lurking just beyond the horizon, I have to admit that it would be somewhat comforting to know ahead of time that I don't need to build up college savings for one or both of them. It would really free my conscience and let me focus on other things, like a vacation home or a nice yacht.

Based on my kindergarten performance, Im pretty sure they would have recommended me be a modeling clay eater or a glue based hairstylist.

/she deserved it. every time I did it.

Guilty as charged on astronaut, but then I discovered computers in first grade and went, "let's do this instead; I can play with them right now." A test that followed along K-12 would have nailed me easily, but not told me anything I didn't already know. I don't hate the idea though. I would have gladly ditched all those "music times" for a chance to do more reading, math, or science. On the flip side, telling a kid "this is what you'll be" is the surest farking way to get them to blow off that area unless they really love it.

To be fair, kindergardeners would at least be kinda entertained by being assigned arbitrary future careers, which at least makes the tests slightly more useful than the ones in high school, which are just parental masturbation exercises.

Beat me to it...

So I'll just post this one.

Well, we've gotta sort people into manual laborers and office workers at a young age. A place for everyone, and everyone in their place. Just don't step out of place, citizen.

I was going to be a pro athlete/superhero with a giant house that doubles as the greatest jungle gym ever, but my plans somehow got derailed.

Carnies BUILT this nation! At least the carnival part of it...
