Summary[]
Mr. Finky has his class take a career aptitude test to see which jobs they're best suited for, then has them try out the career.

When they end up miserable in their new "jobs", they begin to realize they can't rely on a test to tell them what's best for them.
Quotes[]
Nicky: ...The important thing is that we all give these career tests a chance. Um, excuse me, Mr. Finky, I think you must have handed me Shelf McClain's results by mistake. |
Milo: Stockbroker? Stockbroker?! ...What's a stockbroker? Nicky: One who monitors how much money companies are worth. You advise your clients when to buy, sell and trade shares of various businesses, hoping to make them a profit. |
Vera: Cry me a river, Herbert. Cry me a river. |
Pepper Ann: My life is worse than trash. It's the liquid sludge that leaks out of the trash bag and drips all over your shoes. |
