There are some interesting quirks in the data if you click through the 'see a random occupation' button enough times. I wonder if they're artifacts of the sample size, or of the way certain professions are classified. Of people in the following professions who left their jobs -
Power plant operators, distributors, and dispatchers:
* 33% became Food batchmakers
* 11% became Bakers
Veterinarians:
* 46% became Actuaries
* 36% became Software developers, applications and systems software
Fish and game wardens:
* 87% became Detectives and criminal investigators
Psychologists:
* 25% became Urban and regional planners
- smelendez 9y agoWith the game wardens, I wonder if it's common to transition into the state or county police
- stevenwoo 9y agoNot sure about game wardens, but all state and county park rangers in California where I am at are also law enforcement officers so I assume that makes it a relatively easy transition.
- somberi 9y agoI was curious about the Veterinarians and their dominant switch to Actuaries. From what I understand, both of these are "licensed" trades (at least in the US). Can someone please explain the logic behind this. https://www.evernote.com/l/ASl5vTakJT1BrqerojTCghdg-NYssxXOogAB/image.png https://www.evernote.com/l/ASl5vTakJT1BrqerojTCghdg-NYssxXOo...
