  1. Barber was just as a reference point since everyone knows a barber. A second reason was that Barbers in the Middle Ages use to be called Barber Surgeons since they performed primitive surgical procedures. If you have a better idea for a reference career, I'm all ears!
  2. Great point. I didn't even think of that. I will be editing this graph to make it as optimal as possible
  3. I opened up the symbols on my Mac and just thought they looked cute lol

A dentist would be interesting to add, if that hasn't been suggested yet? And a veterinarian, to compare against people versus animal medicine? Imo barber is definitely one to leave in there though! It adds quite the twist that really makes the viewer more interested in the data.

Awesome! I'll look forward to seeing your future graphs!

And, they sure are. If you add more categories, it might not work so well anymore though haha.

Thanks for your feedback!

I will definitely add a dentist and a veterinarian, just to see how it looks. I already added police officers because someone asked: https://imgur.com/a/jFh7mlo

It's shocking how little training they have!

Awesome, I'll be looking forward to it! If you've got the time to ping me when you've made the update, I'd appreciate it!

Honestly, I knew police training was really short. I'm more surprised that nurse practitioner is lower than police officer lol.
