That made my day. FOB has been one that's sustained me for a long while. I like that.

If you select Business and then HR (instead of Management and then HR), Human Resources gets a slightly higher score.

Not sure why "HR Managers" are a lower class than "HR Professionals" though.

Another good one, Frank.

And, in two other categories (income and wealth), I would bet that here in California, the garbage man makes more than the average HR professional.

When I tell people that I'm in HR, they just give me a blank stare. I'm glad that I also teach at a private college - that seems to impress them when I tell them that I'm a college teacher. However, the garbage man (and there is one in my social circle) just smerks as he drives away in his new truck pulling his new boat.
