On the plus side you get to work with computers. If there's a market for it.

Career - Adult - Information Technology Administration . Any career that emphasizes Logic, Mechanical and Creativity. Being specific is difficult as it will vary depending on what custom careers you have installed, but it was designed specifically for my career.
