There is a job called "Computer operators"? Isn't that just, Everybody?

Think blue collar IT. In the old days, the grunt who watched mainframe batch jobs and fiddled with printers. If you see grumpy old people wearing overalls or non-khaki pants in a government or bank datacenter, you've spotted the operators.

Sometimes help desk types get categorized this way.

Yoga instructor is missing. That's pretty much the ideal wife (lots of free time, unreasonably fit), and I'd like to know what job to obtain in order to be pursued by yoga instructors. And DJ is missing. Which prevents us from confirming the hypothesis that DJ's do better than JD's. http://longorshortcapital.com/short-jds.htm Most men seek the JD to “make a lot of money” which is really just a euphemism for “power ov…

> having anonymous sex with women who not only are not wearing sweaters but likely do not even own sweaters. Is there something inherently unsexy about sweaters?

I imagine it depends on who you ask, a DJ or a JD

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You're not wrong, this is incredibly hard to parse.

As far as I can tell most groups seem to marry Elementary school teachers

I think that's a class thing. Auditors, teachers and RNs are all solid middle class, female heavy gigs. Teachers and RNs have the added bonus of an awesome schedule.

The usability of the page is pathetic. First, the fonts are too small. If you enlarge then you can't scroll horizontally to see the rest of the titles because the lines get in the way. Didn't anyone think to make the graph clickable instead of just mouse-over. And on top of everything we have the heading of the site that floats and gets in the way. Fucking hell. Someone saw the graph and said, wow let's just use it b…

I like the graph and small box for typing a filter. Works great for me.

Business Insider has run several articles of the urban college female "problem". With 30% more females obtaining college degrees currently than males plus that males generally dont marry up, there is a surplus of 20-something college females in all metropolitan areas except San Francisco and Washington DC. Good news for guys then. One silly article tried explain the success of hookup apps is that more desperate femal…

How is that silly? It could be that commitment and sex have become inverted in order as the preferences of the scarce "resource".

I imagine you have to be similarly crunchy and "free-spirited". So things like "raft guide" or "ski instructor" probably do well.

TIL There is an occupation called 'Gaming Cage Worker'

It's the person who works in the "cage" in a casino, i.e. exchanges money for chips and vice versa.

It seems odd that there are enough of them to warrant their own classification as opposed to a general gambling or even recreation classification.
