What Jobs Do the Top 1% Have?
This was a particularly interesting article.  You had to spend some time to look through it to find some good take-aways.<p>- Physicians and dentists are not only a large number of the 1%, the proportion of dentists and physicians who become part of the 1% is extremely high - about 20% combined.<p>- I was struck by the seemingly high number of secretaries on the list.  Yes, I know the chart represents "1% households", but this made me smile, since I figured it means a lot of powerful men are marrying their secretaries.<p>- For the ridiculous amounts of money that athletes seem to earn (and I don't have a problem with them earning that much), they are a very small share of the 1%, and the chances of a professional athlete becoming a 1%er is low too, only 2% of them.<p>- And since this is a tech/programmer site, the relatively low numbers of computer science/software people in the 1% seems to indicate that our chosen profession "tops out" at a certain income level below that 1%.
