Finishing up my dissertation in chemical engineering, pulling in all of $18k/year. -$100,000 net assets... So much for their 'wealth' indicator. :p

They must be including every age group from babies to adults.

Around 26% of American adults have Bachelors degrees and that number is much higher 30-48% in most major cities.

With a 50k salary you are making more than 70 percent of the population? That seems a bit low, as you can't even afford a 1 bedroom condo on a 50k salary in here (Seattle).

I thought about posting (last night) that this data needed to have location included. Someone in the 80th percentile range nationally might be in a much lower percentile in their area (because of the differences in costs of living, etc) or visa versa.

Umm, heres mine (no fudging at all):

According to this, medical researchers have less prestige than ANY lawyer. It should be more specific. A Nobel Prize winner would be lower than a small-time personal injury lawyer according to this thing.

100% on everything. Yes, I'm well educated, stinking rich, have the best job on earth (prophylactic test pilot), I'm disgustingly handsome with a rapier wit and boyish charm. I am what all of you wish you were. I only date super models, I can make them have an orgasm using only the power of my tremendous hulking brain, and I can pee farther than any of you.


It's an interesting little poll. My income number was almost exactly double my education number.

Avg 79%, but I have little faith in something that takes 5 general questions and generalizes off of that.
