Please help me talk some sense into my sister!

NAP Wrote:Since I haven't read it, I'm not sure if this is on-topic. Several times, Cookderosa has mentioned a book called "What Color is Your Parachute?" It might be worth a look, too.

I bought her this as a graduation gift. The only career interest test I could get her to take was the Dewey Color System...Code or whatever it's called; but, it only gives you the bottom 25 results for free. You have to pay $20 for the top 25. I offered to pay... Oh, and I think she took a Myer-Briggs test that said she was an introvert. She's really serious when she says she doesn't have a passion for anything. I know what her passion is, but it's not something that will likely lead to a career. She loves to sing. As a child and teenager, she mentioned wanting to become a mortician because Angelina Jolie wanted to become a mortician, an obstetrician because they make a lot of money, an actor, and a child psychologist because creepy children are cool. Is there an emoticon for "shaking my head?" The ironic thing is that she finished college in 4 years right after graduating from high school. I took a year off and finished my bachelor's in 7 years. hilarious Interestingly enough, I think my time hopping from job to job helped me find my passion. I would have never thought about going into the criminal justice field if it weren't for me taking that security job when I was laid off.
