   @evan I mostly enjoy your polls and do my best to enjoy them as thought provocations rather than as pedentry provocations.

   Anyway, curious whether anyone has attempted to characterize differences in outcomes across these four, with caveat that it'd be hard to calibrate "levels" across them.

   ps I chose CEO for my hypothetical child as I imagine this path would impose the least obligation on me. Perhaps this kind of thinking is why such child is hypothetical only!

     @mlinksva thanks!

     Are you asking why the numbers are different between the four options?

     Yes, seeking minimum obligation is not often compatible with child-rearing.

     @mlinksva I mean, that's usually the intention. Sometimes I really want to find out how popular something is. Most of the time I'm hoping to spark thought and conversation.

     @evan wasn't really my intention to look for an explanation of the poll results (why the numbers are different) but perhaps subconciously I was -- I suppose they embed people's estimations of various life outcomes associated with each of the four paths. This is what I mean by your polls often being thought provoking. :)
