Re: Professions

I'm Head of Web Communications for the Norwegian Space Centre. So that would be "other", then.

Re: Professions

Aki- I have to tell you that I was really chuckling at this list of professions. I would never have grouped businessmen with sales folks (most businessmen are not in sales, and most salesmen wouild not describe themsleves as businessmen). I also would never have put doctors and scientists in the same category (similar reasons).

Further, the missing categories are really interesting (e.g.,information technology, art, music, sports, hospitality, agriculture, etc) and are reasonably large. And that assumes that we allow "scientist" to cover an incredibly large amount of territory (from pharmaceutical research to materials science, environmental science, computer science, manufacturing, etc.).

And in "business" we would include owning a hardware store in the same category with investment banking, I guess.

I am a Doctor of Pharmacy that spent 15 years in information technology, and I am now launching a start-up. I think I am three different "other" jobs.

Re: Professions

I think the lack of an "Information Technology" choice is going to skew the results. I'm one of those IT people, mainframe computer operations.

Re: Professions

Biochemist- I have to agree with you, lol I thought about it at first, and I wasn't sure about the options. You see, I didn't want to have too many options on the list.

Zadojla- Yes IT! IT jobs! I totally forgot about that...

Re: Professions

Teacher! Yee-haw! Well, it's spring break right now, so I'm actually not working.... It's a good life. These weeks off are incredible. I think everyone should work about 8 or 9 weeks straight, then have a week off, then another 8 or 9, then a week off... keep everyone happier, i think

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
