Mostly A’s: Barista! You are a very kind soul that would fit in perfectly at a coffee shop! Your hard work and great attitude will land you lots of tips and promotions. With so many cafes around, you’ll be sure to find one that’ll hire as warm a person as yourself.

Mostly B’s: Tutor! Your academic excellence in high school alone can land you a well-paying job with flexible hours. You probably have already noticed that you’re smarter than all of your lesser peers and now you can monetize that advantage!

Mostly C’s: Hair stylist! You seem like a sadist — you get so much pleasure out of ruining someone else’s day. As a hair stylist, you can get paid to do that! You know that feeling you get after a bad haircut and you’re forced to tell your stylist that you love it? Now you can give that same gut-wrenching feeling to others. Don’t worry, your patrons will tip, even if they’re silently holding back tears.

Mostly D’s: Columnist! Think you’re slick, eh? Fine then, take my job! See if I care! Just so you know, the pay isn’t even remotely decent.

Mostly E’s: BitCoin Miner! This is a sure fire way to earn some moolah. Plus it is a self-made job and you are your own boss. With your computer skills, I’m sure you’ll have virtual fat stacks of cryptocurrency in no time! Or you could try to find a paid programming internship…if you’re a big nerd!
