Formal education or not, I learn a TON with each and every comment.<BR/><BR/>Weighing in... I'm female, in my mid-twenties, have an MA, am a low-income earner (juggling work and school for the past two years essentially killed my aptitude at both!).<BR/><BR/>Oh, yeah, I don't have a kids, just a cat. And I agree with matmos that earning power peaks with most master's degrees; earning a PhD in my field would just condemn me to a life of sessional teaching random entry-level courses, and earning less than I do now. If anything, I'd love a second master's in a more practical field.... but until I pay off the first, who knows?maddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-53872845996026568292008-10-30T19:35:00.000-04:002008-10-30T19:35:00.000-04:00Wow - I am an uneducated male under 35. :(<BR/><BR/>I feel so violated by Quantcast!!<BR/><BR/>;)Robhttp://healthhackers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-90965029668706658842008-10-30T12:26:00.000-04:002008-10-30T12:26:00.000-04:00Lurker here.<BR/><BR/>Female<BR/>Under 35 (barely)<BR/>Caucasian<BR/>One child, age 1, wanting another soon<BR/>Upper income<BR/>Educated- BS in computer science, no grad degree<BR/><BR/>Work from home part-time, stay at home mommy part time<BR/><BR/>I can't say that I personally feel that my options or paycheck have been limited by my sex, but I think it happens. <BR/><BR/>I think demographic statistics are interesting, who knows if they're accurate though.<BR/><BR/>I am depressed to realize that I'll be entering a new demographic age group in less than a year (35 and up)krnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-31209386059260691222008-10-30T11:43:00.000-04:002008-10-30T11:43:00.000-04:00female, 25, college degree from a large university on the east coast (though not ivy league - boston univ.), single (though practically engaged), no kids ... and making less than $20k/yr. yep.Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03808070327493365276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-75933511811494892432008-10-30T10:04:00.000-04:002008-10-30T10:04:00.000-04:00wow, I wish I'd checked in here yesterday!

It only showed up in my feed reader this morning!]<BR/>Except for middle income, that's me. I discovered last week that the poverty level for one person is now higher than the _most_ I ever earned (which was not below the poverty level when I earned it, but close). This, of course, is because I've rarely been well enough to work full time, or at all, so I think it would turn out the same if I were a man.<BR/>I agree that our Humor Quotient would skew the stats for most blogs!<BR/><BR/>Mary Anne in KentuckyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-87743607195815707252008-10-30T08:09:00.000-04:002008-10-30T08:09:00.000-04:00I have my doctorate in physical therapy and due to certain licensing restrictions in the UK, I am unable to work as much as planned (or intended anyway). Therefore, my income is negligible for all intensive purposes. I am childless, but do not fit the age profile described for your other readers.<BR/><BR/>I could never have imagined that I'd be able to do the great things that I have had the freedom to do since moving half way across the world and only working part time. Its been great discovering what I'm truly passionate about and developing it into my life. It has taught me a great deal about myself and furthered my personal development and future plans. As my husband always says when I sometimes get down about the scales tipping down towards education vs. work-time, "but, we have a plan!"Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17285486911041238851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-33290079819288528292008-10-30T04:01:00.000-04:002008-10-30T04:01:00.000-04:00Well, I'm a 35 year old white New Zealand woman. I have an MA degree and I would consider myself to earn a middle income, though if I'm honest I earn significantly more than the average salary and quite a bit more than my husband. I'm also childless (unless three cats count). I tend to be both ambitious in my career and goal focussed when it comes to my fitness. This means I tend to spend my life either working or working out. Thankfully hubby is reasonably content to spend most of his time online when I'm not around! <BR/><BR/>I'm a bit unnerved that someone out there is able to collate so much personal information on us all though.

I'm a 30 year old mother of two who has started a new career this year after selling a family business (which had been in the fam for 25 years!) I'm now doing what I love being a personal trainer and actually working on building my own stats on my fitness blog. Why are those statistics so darn intriguing? I always check my stats, hoping every day that they will increase and found it's like weighing myself. I can't do it or it will determine my mood for the day. Scale up? Sad day. Scale down? Happy day. Stats up? Happy day. Stats down? Sad day. <BR/><BR/>Okay, so I don't really get sad over my stats, just more determined. So that's me - one of your readers - a girl who almost got her business degree but stopped when I got pregnant with a baby who had kidney problems - a girl who is supporting her hubby in his new goal to become a nurse anesthetist (long road ahead) and a girl who tries to live a happy life and make those around her happy. <BR/><BR/>Nice to "officially" introduce myself! :)Liz Rosenbaumhttp://www.lizrosenbaumfitness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-57921127630821375272008-10-29T16:56:00.000-04:002008-10-29T16:56:00.000-04:00I am a 52 year old widow, caucasian, Ph.D in autodidactism, middle (use to be upper income prior to the Bush administration) income.

I'd be so curious to see where they get all their info from...I wonder how they get my income and education from my web address tho...curious. <BR/><BR/>I just assume women with no children post more as we have no little people to chase around.
