Another comment.  Here in NV which I think is not quite as backward as TX but may be close the state employment office will set people up with a comprehensive aptitude test given at the local university.  I took one years ago and it was very interesting.  I recall that the end result was a recommendation that I become an attorney, which I didn't pursue.  However, YMMV  and if Texas has a similar program at might provide some new ideas.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

The top two choices from my aptitude test were minister and pilot.  I am neither Christian nor religious plus I am afraid of heights and hate uniforms.

My assessment said I should be either an executioner or a HAZMAT technician.
