Where do you fit in?
An article on MSN Careers states that birth order can determine, or at least affect, your career choice. Pulling out tidbits that relate to me and my birth order (the youngest of three), it is somewhat accurate. My oldest sibling is in a more intellectual career, teaching- she teaches AP English. At least I consider that to be an intellectual career (maybe that's because I'm the youngest and I hate reading). My middle sibling is in sales; the article says that these individuals usually have excellent negotiating and people skills. Finally, I chose a career that involves using my talents, music, and helping others- Music Therapy. The article says that youngest siblings are the least likely to earn six figures (that definitely won't happen in my career), and gravitate towards artistic and outdoor jobs. My second choice of careers when I was in school was landscape architecture. Interesting. Where do you fit in?

I am the youngest of three also, and that hit me spot on! But it was totally wrong about my brothers, TOTALLY WRONG!
I saw this article earlier and read it to Matt. I am the oldest and I think it was way wrong about me.
First, I need to make some of those yummy caramel apples. Delicious!!! However, I too, must agree that so far I have never tasted one that is as good as Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory ones!!!
Where do I fit in??
I am the youngest and I am helping others (at least with their teeth and gums...), my oldest brothers (twins) are in business and dental careers, and my middle siblings are in teaching and marketing careers. Guess it's pretty accurate! Maybe????
Way off. The oldest in my family were the rebellious ones and either were late to getting to their careers or never even finished school. My bro (the middle), is good at negotiating, but he makes the most out of any of us by working in corporate America. Where exactly do I fit in as the 4th out of 5? If I'm considered the 'youngest', then it is way off. I'm the most driven and intellectual out of all my siblings (aside from older bro), and I hate the limelight.
I don't know where I fit in.... 3rd of 9?? But technically I grew up as 3rd of 5/6. IT's complicated.
I'm the oldest and I'm not sure that really decribes me. Although, my youngest sister is very artistic. interesting.
