A CareerBuilder survey run by Harris Poll shows we herpers are in the big money.

The study broke down all demographics of pet owners and what they more likely do for a living and earn. From CareerBuilder:

Key findings include:

Workers with dogs were more likely to report holding senior management positions (CEO, CFO, Senior Vice President, etc)

Workers with snakes/reptiles were the most likely to report earning six figures.

Workers with birds were the most likely to report being satisfied with their jobs.

In terms of career paths, owners of certain pets were more likely to report being drawn to certain professions:

Dog owners were more likely to be professors, nurses, information technology professionals, military professionals and entertainers

Cat owners were more likely to be physicians, real estate agents, science/medical lab technicians, machine operators and personal caretakers

Fish owners were more likely to be human resources professionals, financial professionals, hotel and leisure professionals, farming/fishing/forestry professionals and transportation professionals

Bird owners were more likely to be advertising professionals, sales representatives, construction workers and administrative professionals

Snake/Reptile owners were more likely to be engineers, social workers, marketing/public relations professionals, editors/writers and police officers

Oddly enough, I was part of the Harris Poll pooling group and I participated in this survey, but at last check I didnt make a six-figure pay check. Umm, yeah, Jeff; can we talk?
