My husband & I own a 2006 Driftwood Pearl Prius. I am a second grade teacher. My husband is a guidance counselor & Marriage and Family Therapist. Just curious about occupations of other Prius owners.
Pretty sure there was a survey on this a long time back. I'm a physician, there's a disproportionate number of Engineers and people with technical backgrounds....at least there was at that time. I suspect the demographic is shifting as the Prius becomes more main stream and we'll start seeing more people with non-tech backgrounds jump into the fray.
We are a two Prius family. Both my wife and I are in the Army. I am an Operation Research System Analyst and she is a Chemical Officer.
Future owner of 2006 Pkg.# 7. Car is still 4 weeks out according to dealer. I am a purchasing agent. My wife is an elementary school teacher.
i'm a theatre designer, technician, and production/stage manager. my wife is an actress and is also studying to be a dog trainer.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Renee @ Jun 14 2006, 08:32 AM) [snapback]271051[/snapback]</div> Wife and I are both MD's.
i'm a grad student... but one of these days i'll get one of those "job" things hopefully somewhere in industrial pharmaceutical development. husband is a mechanic.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(efusco @ Jun 14 2006, 09:36 AM) [snapback]271055[/snapback]</div> This is bizarre... On a few sportbiking websites I used to haunt, the same was true... Seriously weighed towards the engineering/tech crowd... I'm starting to think maybe they're more apt to be in front of a computer and actually express themselves online than other demographics.... Weird... Oh, er, to answer the OP's question, I'm in International Finance h34r:
I am a technical writer and manager of other technical writers. I write online help for accounting software.
I'm a biophysical geographer (soils, weather, climate, vegetation) and teach science at the high school and university level. My wife is a planner and landscape architect.
I'm a marine scientist (mathematical modeling of ocean physics and acoustics) and a freelance writer; my wife is an ophthalmologist.
I'm a groundwater hydrologist, wife is a financial analyst. Does it really surprise anyone that folks with a technical background would be the people posting about an innovative technology vehicle?
Power Plant Engineer (power plant = jet engine) for an airline, schooling in mechanical engineering. Spouse is an Attorney practicing Environmental Law.
Future owner of Seaside Pearl package 8. Only a few weeks into a 3 month waiting list. Airline Pilot for 30 years. Flown many types, DC-6 to 767. Are there any Ham Radio folks driving the Prius? I'm curious about mobile radio installation and any potential RF problems or antenna installations with all the electronics!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(kn6vv @ Jun 14 2006, 08:21 AM) [snapback]271114[/snapback]</div> OK, I'm an engineer specialising in Signal Integrity for high speed design. I am a Ham (KN6YU), and I have a VHF/UHF installation in my < month old Prius; seems to work fine. I don't know about HF (but I don't see why not; I think the problems there are more mechanical than electrical: I'd be afraid of the antenna tipping the car over )
Until a year and a half ago hubs was military, 17 plus years in Ranger Battalions and several writing manuals for, and teaching at, the Army's Physical Fitness School. I, when employed, was an Education and Volunteer Co-ordinator for a private non profit family planning agency. He just finished his first semester as an English teacher (H.S.) and is finishing up his Masters, and I am an artist who is also a potter, or perhaps the reverse is more accurate.
