Does anyone know of a 'test' that one can take that can show carreer choices?  I'm thinking of quitting my home based businesses and looking for a real job but feel rather dejected about my possibilities.  Not sure if I should go back to school, try to climb the dern latter or what.

I'll try to get you the link

it is an "interest inventory"  evaluation, and can usually be done in HS guidance offices, and school psychology settings.  very popular, and pretty accurate.
