      <select id="job" name="user_job>
        <option value="frontend_developer">Front-End Developer</option>
        <option value="php_developer">PHP Developer</option>
        <option value="python_developer">Python Developer</option>
        <option value="rails_developer">Rails Developer</option>

Hi Brent,

You don't have the closing quote on the "user_job" value.

<select id="job" name="user_job>

Brent,

On the second line of code you are missing a quote between user_job and >. Instead it should be < select id="job" name="user_job" > instead. Notice the missing quote in your code.
