What Type Of Volunteer Are You?

I think having to do 40 hours of community service in order to get my diploma:
1. Is a bit too much. I need all the time I can get to study
2. Can help me get work references and build my résumé
3. Would be a great chance to get out with my friends
4. Will help make the world a better place
5. ...Oh, no. I left it to the last minute and now I'm in trouble!
For me, volunteering is:
1. A chance to learn something new
2. A step closer to my career goal
3. A chance to spend time with my friends
4. Satisfying. I'm helping to make a difference
5. Necessary for my diploma. What else?
In my ideal volunteer placement, I am:
1. Learning something new
2. Making lots of good work connections and references
3. Working with other volunteers and organizing fundraisers
4. Involved in a cause that I strongly believe in
5. Getting my 40 hours over with as quickly as possible
Right now, I enjoy spending my free time:
1. Reading or studying
2. Browsing career sites and learning about different types of jobs
3. Partying with friends
4. Looking for ways to make a difference in my community
5. Watching TV or sleeping
In 10 years, I can see myself:
1. Still in school, either studying or teaching
2. Running a big corporation
3. Involved in event planning
4. Working for an international non-profit organization
5. I'm just trying to graduate. Then I'll think about the future.
