What Does Your Birthday Have to Do With Your Career?

Your birth month determines your birthstone and the likelihood of having to share your birthday with a federal holiday. But, according to a new study in the UK, your birth month also has some correlation with your career. The study believes that the amount of sunlight a pregnant woman gets plays a role in how her child develops, even down to the job said kid ends up having later in life. The study tracked which months have higher likelihoods of different professions. Now, let’s finish up the science and skip right to your horoscope.

JANUARY – Doctors and debt collectors

FEBRUARY – Artists and traffic cops

MARCH – Pilots

APRIL – Dictators

MAY – Politicians and people who are bad at sports

JUNE – Chief executives and Nobel Prize winners

JULY – Harry Potters

AUGUST – Bricklayers and recent US presidents

SEPTEMBER – “Most likely to do well academically and at sport,” but no specific profession wins here

OCTOBER – Most likely to have a long life

NOVEMBER – “Higher chance of serial killers and schizophrenics”

DECEMBER – Dentists and messiahs

I’m not sure how scientific this study is, but as a September-birthday-haver I feel pretty good about my prognosis. Then again, since I’m American, these results may not even apply to me.

    How fun!
    I was born in the UK in mid October. I’m excited about living forever…. but I guess I better get down to business saving for retirement!

    Always knew I was kind of nuts but I guess November proves it. Never wanted to kill anyone though. Guess I got the schizo part?

    they shouldn’t have bothered in publishing such lame study.
