My job overlooks a river and rail trail. I am fortunate enough to have a locker room with showers here, so I frequently run during lunch.

As I was reading your post I was thinking you might leave out the fact that you did lace up boots for this fine country. I see you saved it for last

Interesting how the responses skew versus the general population.
Lawyers are 0.36% of the population; 7.3% of the poll.
Engineers and scientists together make up 5% of the U.S. labor force; Engineers alone make up 22.54% of the poll.
Government workers are spot on at 7% in both the poll , and the labor force.
Computer and Math workers are about 8% of the work force; 21% of the poll.
Obviously the poll has a small sample, and has self reporting bias.
But it does appear that tech workers, engineers and lawyers are over represented on BF, which is not surprising.
What is surprising is all the government employees slacking off at work are not over represented.

I knew the small sample size of only one website + the bias of people who actually came to register and post in a thread detracts but I expected a lot of "wealthy" professsions since they are the people who have the capital to spend on bikes (and usually you see pretty expensive bikes in threads here) and care to post in a bike forum. Great results though, I didn't expect this many fellow engineers, I thought it would be more law/medical people.

We will award grants and contracts to study how productive government employees are when we spend time on BF. BF also keeps us off porn sites too.

I work for an architectural salvage and antique business.
It's basically the un-hollywood version of the Salvage Dawgs and American Pickers tv shows.

More interesting question would be...
what would you like to be.
I would like to be a food taster.
