Choosing a Career based on Color Preferences...

How About Orange posted this silly "Color Career Counselor" Career Test. Imagine my surprise when I found it to be scarily accurate. (They also made me sound pretty boring, but, hey, what can I say?) Did I mention I worked for Citicorp as for 10 years before I got to be a stay-at-home mom?

Want to do something fun? Click over and find out what you're suited to. Come on! You know you want to. Do it...and then come back and tell me if it was even close.

Oh, and I shared my results with you below. Those of you who know me IRL might get a real kick out of them.
