(I just want to first say thank you to Mrs. Meiki and this class! This was by far my favorite class and i'm going to miss attending on monday afternoons. But thank you so much for the great experience; I'll miss you!)
If I could work for the United Nations, the job that I would like to do would involve gender issues. There was a job vacancy listed under employment as a "Gender Affairs Officer".
The reason why I would be a gender affairs officer is that because this world is becoming more and more equal, there are so many women in this world who are abused, mistreated, uneducated, and looked down upon by the countries and cultures they live in (and not all mistreatment is always physical, sometimes discrimination can be more of a social problem or custom that not many people can clearly notice without looking closer). So I would want to help create a more equal and safe world for women. A woman should be able to read a book or walk outside alone without having to worry about being beaten or abused.

Workplace
I took the workplace questionaire, and these were the results that I got:
Your score is 36 on a scale of 0 to 100 = Preference for Tolerance for Ambiguity
Your score indicates that you have a moderate Tolerance for Ambiguity and might be willing to give up job security for more opportunity. In countries/cultures with a Tolerance for Ambiguity, conflict in organizations is perceived as natural, and rules may be broken for pragmatic reasons. If you work in countries/cultures with a Need for Certainty, such as Japan, France, and Greece, you might react by creating a micro-environment that would shield you from the burden of what you might perceive as excessive structures, rules, and regulations. In countries with a high Need for Certainty, loyalty to an employer is seen as an advantage; a specialist career is preferred over a career in management.
I think I would work best in the USA, due to the low score I recieved! I like the flexibility and less-strict working style.

Lesson 11, Dating Issues
I was having a lot of problems with my computer and didn't know how to create a pie chart... so I will instead list my percentages here!
My Ideal Partner:
1. Personality- 50% (includes interests, hobbies, being able to click, etc)
2. Looks- 30%
3. Humor- 10% (have to be able to laugh!)
4. Ambition- 10%
But I think what's most important is just 'clicking'. If it doesn't 'click', percentages are pointless.
