	Good idea but I think a few of the answers need work. For example, tried both President and Lawyer for Cleveland, neither worked.

	"Governor of California" should be an answer for Reagan, and just "supreme allied commander" or even "general" should work for Eisenhower, no need to make people write "Europe" afterward

	"Representative" should work for Garfield, and "governor" for Polk.

	I think this would have been a more interesting quiz if it included only those jobs that were held before being elected to public office.

	Reagan's most recent job was Governor of California...."retired" isn't a job; it's the lack of a job...

	Just typing "governor" works for all the other "Governor of..." but it doesn't work for Polk.

	You know what would be an interesting quiz is what was the last real job before becoming president. Of course, many, like Obama, Clinton, Bush, etc. never had real jobs so it might be tough to put together. The military posts would be considered real jobs, imho.
