Please don't take it the wrong way, I just want to know how much percentage of head-fiers have analytical occupations.

Do accounting and law count as analytical?

I've taken business calculus.

Perhaps you could define "analytical" for us? 

 

Anything from historian through derivatives trader could be called analytical

I think he meant analytical in the field of math and science biggrin.gif. Odd way to put it though.

That's something a liberal arts major would ask, nothing is really defined to thembiggrin.gif  Very philosophical...  You're right, anything could be anything.tongue.gif very deep indeed.

I'm analytical as a teacher, and I do teach math even though its not my specialty.  I still have to be analytical of sources, even if I don't have a math/science/engineering background.

^What I mean by mathematics, have a degree in Math and practice it.  If you are a professor, then I would consider that a analytical occupation compared to say a school teacher that teaches simple concepts(Anything before Calculus), and may not have the deep underlying understanding of the mathematical principles or have to explain such principles.  Its a abstract poll, if I made the poll to cater to the very specifics, it would be more complex.  I'm an engineer, I live simplicity, I estimate stuff.

I'm sorry but you're wrong here. Asking who works in an analytical field is an extremely vague question as it could apply to anything. A math profession requires you to be analytical and so does a history or art profession. What you needed to ask is, "who have professions in math or science or engineering".
