Lunch Lady Land

You know you know the song— from SNL a few years back. Adam Sandler and Chris Farley doing it up comic genius style. But it reminds me of a great point related to employment. And, to make the lunch ladies proud, I think I’ll share.

In the song, they are poking fun, lovingly, at all the lunch ladies out there and wondering why they’d want to spend their days with rude kids in the kitchen of a school. But really, why would you? Someone has to do it and aren’t you glad it’s not you?

But for them, it’s the perfect job. And we should all be lucky enough to find the perfect job for ourselves. It’s uncommon but it shouldn’t be. And there are ways to find out what that would be for you. There are aptitude tests you can take to find out which ones are more perfect for you than others. And there are career assessment tests that let you know which industries you are more tailored for.

And then there are personality tests that will tell you what your strengths and weaknesses are for the kind of person you are. Just in case you didn’t already know. It will also illuminate work related skills that you didn’t even know you had.

I’ve listed a few of them here, but take them with a grain of salt. You know yourself best and only you will know what you’re capable of and your likes and dislikes. And also remember that it may not be the most glamorous of jobs, but like the lunch ladies, you might come to love it.
