What you binge watch on Netflix says a lot about your future career…

 

HOUSE OF CARDS | LAW & ORDER: SVU

You love any show with police chases, dramatic political backstabbing, or increasingly intense background music.  If you’ve ever binge-watched Law and Order or debated your friends about the Underwood’s/Clinton’s comparison you definitely fall into this category.  Consider careers in government, international affairs, or law – high stakes political endeavors are totally your thing.

 

GILMORE GIRLS | GLEE

You’re all about a good tug on the heartstrings and you love putting good vibes out into the world.  You’ve never had a bad day that Rory and Lorelai’s banter or the Glee version of Don’t Stop Believin’ can’t fix.  If you find that your Netflix shows of choice tend more towards the heartwarming side, you would be a perfect fit for careers in education, non-profit, or human services.

 

THE LEAGUE

You thrive in the spotlight and are constantly on the go.  You’re passion for sports and entertainment is unparalleled, and this carries into your Netflix binge choices as well.  If you’re known for quoting The League way too often or for ranting about Coach Taylor’s outstanding moral fiber, you might be interested in careers in sports, arts, or entertainment industries.

 

STRANGER THINGS | CRIMINAL MIND

Calling all critical thinkers!  You love putting your problem solving skills to the test, so you appreciate a good mystery in your Netflix show of choice.  If you were swept up in the sci-fi thrill of Stranger Things or pride yourself on beating the Criminal Minds detectives to cracking the case, then you definitely fall into this category.  Your analytical thinking skills would serve you well in careers in technology, engineering, or the physical sciences.

 

NEW GIRL | 30 ROCK

You’re extroverted and outgoing (some might even say quirky), so your go-to shows should be no less fun!  If you can relate all too well to every Liz Lemon “blerg” or find yourself admiring Jess’s eccentric fashion choices on New Girl, then you have a unique creativity and comedic sense-of-self that could help you go far in careers in marketing, media, communications, or advertising.

 

GREY’S ANATOMY | SCRUBS

Cue The Fray’s “How to Save a Life.”  You’ve always been passionate about helping others, which has led you to consider careers in the health professions and life sciences.  As a result, you fill your Netflix queue with shows to help you prepare for the role.   Here’s hoping McDreamy’s exist at every hospital!

 

BREAKING BAD | GOSSIP GIRL

You are fascinated with shows where the characters are motivated by money.  Maybe you were hooked on Walter White’s greed-driven meth-making obsession or you swooned when Chuck Bass flew all the way to Paris to win Blair over with her favorite macaroons.  Careers in finance, consulting, or accounting might be right up your alley because you’d be critically analyzing and interpreting real financial situations.

As college students, we can all relate to the importance of a daily coffee-fix. But can our Cool Beans order actually reveal something about our potential future careers as well? Probably not but it’s fun to theorize!

Milkshake
You are always eager to be caught up in something exciting and spontaneous.  At Cool Beans, you’re likely to opt for a milkshake because, why not?!  It’s definitely the most fun item on the menu, and you’re all about fun.  You’ve probably thought about careers in the Entertainment, Fashion or Sports industries, or maybe considered pursuing an art career.

Large Coffee, extra shot of espresso
You are detail-oriented and super hard working, and you’re probably thinking about a career in Consulting, Finance, or Accounting.  Late nights in the lib barely even faze you at this point.  Caffeine has become a part of your bloodstream, so your go-to is a large coffee, often with an extra shot of espresso.

Green Tea
You’re passionate about helping others, so your drink of choice should be no less beneficial.  You’re probably drawn to careers in Education, Non-Profit, or Human Services because you’re eager to make the world a better place.  Nothing is more Zen or positive-energy inducing than Green Tea!  Plus the health benefits are undeniable.

Cappuccino
As someone interested in International Relations, you probably studied abroad in Europe.  Consequently, you can often be found ordering cappuccino’s from Cool Beans in an attempt to satisfy your worldly tastes.

Smoothie
You don’t need caffeine to be energized.  Your health-conscious ways sway you towards the smoothie menu at Cool Beans.  Likewise, you’re drawn to careers in the Health Professions or Life Sciences so you can help others achieve healthy lifestyles as well.

Iced Chai Latte
You have a strong creative side, making you perfect for careers in Marketing, Media, Communications, or Advertising.  You’re always thinking outside the box and you love to be different, which extends to your coffee choices.  Iced Chai Lattes fit your unique personality!

Iced Coffee
Technology, Engineering, and the Physical Sciences are your calling because you love to figure things out and deal with problems in a factual, concrete way.  Iced Coffee fits your no-nonsense persona while also satisfying your caffeine need!
