In an effort to find out just what their lil darlings might be good for in life, some parents paid £20 for their kids to give up a free period and take an aptitude test. Four to six weeks later(!) they would receive in the post(!!) a big yellow envelope containing a printout(!!!) of ten potential career paths their blessed ones would be ideally suited for.
It's uncanny, really, I always manage to remember my list quite distinctly...
- Computer Engineer
- Civil Engineer
- Aeronautical Engineer
- Electrical Engineer
- Mechanical Engineer
- Chemical Engineer
- Structural Engineer
- Materials Engineer
- Agricultural Engineer
- Systems Analyst
Can't quite put my finger on it, but sensing a definite theme running in there. Hmm...
Good thing "System's Analyst" was in there, or this English Teacher might've felt a bit limited in scope!
