    Currently: software engineer, working mostly on govt projects related to cyber security

    Previously: Lab tech, then lab supervisor in cancer research and diagnostics.

    I agree with the previous poster: the skew toward IT-related professions is probably more associated with PriusChat regulars than with Prius owners in general.

    You do realize this is a self-selected poll. You're not going to find many entries:

    • unemployed living in Prius
    • posted using free Wi-Fi from a public library computer
    Seriously, take everything with a cuppa cappuccino. <grins>
