Is there a connection between peoples personality and their occupation?

While I have been on my career search-I have been trying to find what occupation matches my abilities, personality and simply something I would enjoy doing. I came across this article 'The Hidden Hand of Your Personality' it has links to personality test and other useful information. However sometimes I am led to believe that it doesn't matter. People would like to do something they enjoy but other circumstances like financial security, location, or other obligations get in the way of their "dream Job" or vocation.
So are these personality test like astrology? Do they categorize your personality into a specific type and some how believe that due to these traits you act a certain way or should be working in a particular field?

I linked the post below an it might be interesting to see how many personality types are actually doing what these test suggest might be your 'calling.'
