Careerbuilder saw the signs and used them as the basis for its most recent survey. Between color tests and astrology, it seems the folks there believe career paths are more than just your college major. If you've ever wondered how your job field, salary, and satisfaction compare to other workers who share your sign, wonder no more. Here are the jobs certain signs are reportedly drawn to, along with some job satisfaction and salary patterns. How do your sign and job match up with their findings?
- Aquarius: sales, military, engineering, mechanic, food preparation, facilities management, and transportation. Among the most likely to earn less than $35,000.
- Pisces: social work, personal care, IT, facilities management, and mechanic. Among the most satisfied with their current jobs.
- Aries: government, construction, hotel /recreation, IT, education, and transportation.
- Taurus: nursing, engineering, attorney/judge, marketing/public relations, and higher education. Among the most likely to earn $100,000 or more.
- Gemini: art/design/architecture, nursing and personal care, sales, law enforcement, firefighter, and machine operation. Among least satisfied with current job.
- Cancer: government, legal services, advertising, higher education, machine operation, transportation, and military. Among the most likely to earn $100,000 or more, but among least satisfied with current job.

No, they do not match up.
1Mine, for now, hits the nail on the head. Both the type and the satisfaction. Haha.
2mine fits! i'm a dental assistant and a gemini, on my way to a degree in dental hygiene and community health
3Where did you get this list? I have one that shows completely different professions for the signs... and is much more accurate to the descriptions given for each sign...
4sarlafrock- The list shows the results of Careerbuilder's survey.
5Nope, not at all. But maybe I should switch since I supposedly should be earning six figures.
6Wow, not at all!
7I don't believe in astrology I guess that's why mine doesn't match.
8I am definitely not in the right field for my astrological sign, but I'm not really into sales or law enforcement either...
9Not close at all.
10Education and Government are listed on my list. Both are career options I will be pursuing.
11I also spent 6 years working in the hotel industry as a guest service rep and sale coordinator.
12Strange, and I currently work in transportation.
13both my mine and my boyfriend's match our signs!!
14weird! my exact job is the first in the list for my sign!
15I hope to make more than $35,000 a year!
16I mean, right now I probably don't even make that, but I'm still in college...
Mine doesn't match at all but I do like to do most of the stuff listed. Perhaps a career change is in order? perhaps not since I really dig my job right now.
17Not even close.
18Ironically yes, I'm in advertising design and I'm a cancer. Cool!
19Mine matches!
20"Among the most likely to earn less than $35,000." Yes, definitely, sadly!
21nowhere near!
22My job is more typical of my rising sign than my sun sign.
23The only thing accurate is the average salary of an Aquarius
24Not at all!
25mine, my bf's, my two ex bf...all match..wierd!
26Nope...this Scorpio works with the Legislature and definitely does not make $100K+ (lol)
27No, not at all. In fact, most of my "options" (sales, machine operation) make me cringe.
28Written of Capricorns:
"Among the most likely to earn less than $35,000, but among those most satisfied with current job."
Wow; they seem easy to please. (Lowest income paired with highest contentment.)
It boggles the mind of this Scorpio.
29I am a Gemini, a product developer, and as of today hate my job.
30Wow! Mine perfectly fits!
"Taurus: ... marketing/public relations, and higher education"
I'm a Taurus and work in a university public relations office.
31i HOPE not!!!!!!!!!
32Gemini here. I don't work in any of the fields listed for my sign, but "among least satisfied with current job" is definitely right!
It's interesting that Gems (dual-natured) are supposed to be good at both concrete tasks (machine operation) and abstract ones (art/design). We are of two minds ... and always changing both of them! (Thus the dissatisfaction.)
33Wow, I'm a Scorpio and I'm a high school science teacher, which matches two of mine! The "most likely to make over $100,000" will never pan out with my chosen profession though. Oh well. Good thing I don't teach for the money!
34yeah, weird.
35Virgo = Editing/Writing. Sounds like me
36WOW! So On Point! Im a Taurus and I'm just getting started to working in PR! I hope to make that much one day!
37It's way off for me. I'm a Gemini who is EXTREMELY unsatisfied with her job and trying to make a major change ASAP. I am working in sales, more or less, right now and hope to make a transition to working with animals especially dogs. So.. not so much on mine being accurate.
38although astrology always seems very general to me - it's right on for mine. i'm a cancer and my first job was in the government, and now i'm in advertising. go figure on how that works!
39Totally not a match!
40Not true for me...I'm a Pisces and I'm studying to become a teacher, but they say that education it is more for those who are Aries, Leo, Libra, or Scorpio. wtf? Horoscopes are usually hit-and-miss with my sign anyway.
41wrong, wrong, wrong.
42I'm saggie and I work in IT, but not sure how satisfied I am as I only started at my current job last week!
43Scorpio in law school, so yeah, on the head. Also, even though my parents hated it when I used to (and still) say this, but I love working with my hands, like physical labor, so any of the skilled trades where I'd get to hang drywall or play with fuses would totally have been fun.
As far as making $100K+, it's a plan. And I'll spend it shopping internationally.
44I am a rather accurate Leo, though I am still in college. I'm very creative (write, paint, photograph) and I am deeply motivated by public/government issues. I've always read in other predictions though, that Leos are supposed to be great team leaders...don't think that's true for me, I'm introverted and keep a low profile in a large group. Hope the salary prediction comes true though
45As an Aquarius, yep. As a student I definitely make less than $35,000 a year.
46This list is inaccurate and very disappointing! How could anyone determine that a sign alone would mean you will earn less than $35k? I am an aquarius, dont even have my BBA yet working on it and make far more than $35k... I am also not in any of those careers listed...inaccurate all the way!
47ditto daisy. I'm an aquarius accountant, and earn double the $35k. so yes, completely inaccurate.
48No, but interestingly enough, I am changing careers soon and my new career is more in the art and design category. But yes, I am unsatisfied with what I'm doing now.
49Mine doesn't work for me at all...and sales?! that's laughable..I'm too type B for sales
