I thought this was interesting. A couple are pretty obvious, but it seems most just make you wonder why. Why is it that people who choose to do _____ for a living tend to be conservative/liberal? Is political preference tied to our personalities which is also tied to our vocations?

Quote:[url=http://verdantlabs.com/politics_of_professions/index.html]Verdant Labs, which makes a baby names app, recently published an extensive chart on the average political affiliations of various professions. To create the graphic, the company aggregated data from the Federal Election Commission on contributions to political parties, and used that information as a proxy for political views.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
