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.

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

Soon as I saw that, knew it couldn't be real. PhD's don't earn that kind of money. ;)
