Demographics of FTers
Was reading another post discussing the impact of high oil prices on the average Canadian/American household and one respondent commented that the opinions of FTers was probably skewed as FTers were more likely to have above-average incomes.
This got me curious about the "typical" demographics of FTers. Obviously this includes confidential information but I think it can be done in such a manner so as not to give away the farm and could prove interesting. I'll start. Education: BSc, MSc, MBA Candidate (considering joint MBA/LLB) Income: Mid 5 Figures Age: 20s |
Ok, I'll play.
Edu: BSc, MBA, CGA, ARCT Income: 6 figures Age: 30s And the high oil prices have affected the way I commute to work. Environmental stewardship was important, but oil prices closed the deal. However, doesn't dent my travel plans one bit. |
Edu: PhD
Income: mid 6 figures Age: early 20's Oh, in real life? Ok knock off a few letters, subtract a zero, and add a decade ... ;) Airline travel is inelastic for me (thank you econ 201) :D |
Edu: BSc MBA CGA
Income: low 6 figures Age: 40s |
