what colour is my career?

 

i came across this website that gives career advice based on what colours you most prefer or least prefer. when i did mine its suggestions were like a well tailored outfit.......  articulating in the "best occupation" category some options that i have been thinking about... if only i'd followed my heart rather than my head when i went to uni... architecture had been my career of choice (2nd and more practical to photographer! lol). my career change into marketing has wisely combined my best and 2nd best categories (since its a combination of being creative & organised), but sadly life in marketing has been so dry & analytical of late. really need to spice things up a bit & bring back some creativity!
