Math (I'm a graduate student). And "exponentially more experienced than the average" means nothing as exponential is a progression, not a comparison between two values.
So you're asking people what they do for a living?
Doing something for 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week makes you a lot better at that thing than other people.
Actually doing something for 40 hours a week is truly remarkable. People waste so much time, me included.
Man I’m so good at sleeping though. I get at least 5 hours a night, so that’s 40 a week! Woohoo!
/s
Where do you get an 8-day week? I want one (assuming it's an extra break day not work day...).
Statistical modeling.
And yes, I am miffed about the use of the word “exponential” in this post’s title.
