What Is Your Occupation?

[jar546]

I've got a small favor to ask that could really change the game for our forum. We're trying to cut down on those random Google ads and bring in advertisers that actually match our interests. To do that, we need a bit more about who we are as a community. That's where the 'Occupation' field in your profile comes in. If you could update that with what you really do, it would be a huge help.

Also, while we're getting that sorted, could you take a moment to participate in a quick poll? This will give us a snapshot of our community's professional landscape. It's just a few clicks, but it'll make a big difference.

So, two things: update your occupation in your profile (just click your avatar, easy peasy), and take part in the poll. Together, we can make our forum a lot more relevant and enjoyable for everyone.

Thanks a bunch for your help!

PLEASE TAKE THE POLL & DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWER BELOW, JUST PARTICIPATE IN THE POLL

I would think your snap shot would be more helpful without "retired" as an occupation. If someone here is a retired engineer or retired building official, it seems they should be included in their career profession. Or double the list so each profession has a retired option. Just a thought. Looking forward to results in any case.

I’m limited to eight choices and those are the eight choices that are important to marketing. Thank you for the thought.

As a building designer I cannot claim to be an architect....guess I'm 'other'...

Yes, I would take other for that. I am limited to 8 spots. What is important is that everyone put the right occupation in their profile.

bump. Important poll.
I am limited to 10 choices so bear with us if you are not listed.

So I've got to ask: 8 or 10 choices? and I count 9? And did you change mine from other - I'm sure I clicked that - to designer?

I just upgraded it to 10 but I am leaving it at 9. I don't even need that many, but we should be covered now.

Bump. Let's get this poll rolling please.
