Okay, I just now got around to finishing up the list (I'm multi-tasking while I surf INGO). Real estate agents? Really?

I almost punched a dentist once. Kept talking about golf while doing a root canal. I wanted to tell him to STFU and pay attention to what he's doing, though of course I couldn't talk. But that isn't when I almost punched him. It was on a subsequent visit when we discovered that he botched the root canal. So I suppose that might have been stressful to that dentist.

Why are lawyers killing themselves? - CNN.com

A similar article from CNN... But mostly I just wanted to be in the cool kids (??) club.

Electricians? Really?

Shocking isn't it.

I wasn't surprised to see police officers on the list, but I would have thought they would be higher on the list. I was surprised to see Doctors and Dentists as 1 and 2. Would never have guessed it.

But not Realtors, you're in the clear

Not so much.

Not so much.

I thought you could be an agent, but only a "realtor" if you belonged to the national association?

Correct, but being a Realtor doesn't negate agent status. Agent denotes licensed by state to practice real estate. Realtor denotes agent that is a member of NAR. And if I could, I would leave NAR in a heartbeat, but I can't be a member of the local board without membership. And it's practically impossible to practice without being in the board.

That's nonsense. Strong electromagnetic fields are only present at higher voltages (think: transmission lines). The average electrician isn't exposed to any higher electromagnetic fields than the average mailman.

I'm starting to worry about hornadylnl.

On the contrary, I think we can stop wondering.

If you have a good digital amp probe you can see the field around an electric motor with it. It is there. Not at a damaging level but it is there.

Where are you going to find a cliff in Indiana?

Where Indianapolis was founded, at a cliff.

We really need an INGO Indiana geography thread.

I.C. 35-42-1-2.5. Should we he helping people find a cliff?

The list seems warped.
Maybe the occupations select out folks who are more prone to suicide, perhaps, because they may have more difficulty dealing with stress.
I think 88GT is on to something here. Couldn't give you more rep.

No argument. Transformers generate an electromagnetic field also. That's how they work. But as you said, not strong enough to be damaging.

Maybe all the electricians are offing themselves because they have to work with tin knockers all day.
