I was reading some statistics on scuba divers and found the following:
1. 72% of divers are male and 28% are female
2. 62% of divers have an average income above $50,000
3. 39% of divers are in a professional/managerial occupation
4. 58% of divers are married
5. 50% of divers have a college degree
6. The average age for divers is 36 years old
Some of these surprised me a little. I'd like to see what results we'd get on this website if you all responded. Please answer each question (you can skip any you don't feel like answering) and I'll total it up in a week or so.
Here's my answers:
1. Male
2. Above
3. Yes, Professional
4. Yes, Married
5. Yes, College Degree
6. 31 years old

OK...so we only got 9 responses (I included Captain Darrick's responses).
Here's the break down:
| Stats I found | MSD Stats | | Male/Female | 72% / 28% | 78% / 22% | | Average income above $50,000 | 62% | 100% | | Professional/managerial occupation | 39% | 100% | | Married | 58% | 78% | | College degree | 50% | 56% | | Average Age | 31 | 43 |
What's this mean? We appear to have good jobs and make good money. Sounds good to me!
