Question

Jerome likes to take stuff apart and then rebuild it. He is also good at math but is rather shy. Which career choices might he enjoy? Check all that apply.
Engineer: design, plan, or manage a system such as machines, computers, or roads.
Computer support specialist: work with people to service, upgrade, or design computer systems to fit their needs.
Aircraft inspector: inspect, plan, and oversee repairs on aircraft; may also need to design parts as repair methods that meet standards.
Car salesman: sell cars to the police.
Factory reproduction manager: check that products meet specifications.
Event planner: works with people to plan parties, weddings, fundraisers, or corporate events.

Answer 1

Likely fits:
- Engineer — Yes. Uses math, design, and often hands-on problem solving (taking things apart/rebuilding).
- Aircraft inspector — Yes. Hands-on inspection/repair work, technical and math-based, less sales/people focus.
- Factory reproduction manager — Yes. Checking products/specs involves technical judgment and math; more inspection/quality focus than heavy people-facing sales.

Less likely:
- Computer support specialist — Probably not ideal: involves regular direct work with people/customers.
- Car salesman — No: sales requires being outgoing and working closely with people.
- Event planner — No: requires frequent social interaction and coordinating people.
