    Amusement park employee.
    HEY!!! I was NEVER fat when I worked there! I was the one jumping into the water in my clothes to go collect the flotation devices! Fun job. Except for the sun.

    Then you are the exception to the rule based on my my opinion based on the very small sampling of people I've encountered and zero fact whatsoever.
    I like your facts. We should write a book together. Mhm :)

    It's because of the shift work - messes with the metabolism, plus usually you have 10 mins to grab something to eat if you're lucky.

    I'm not a nurse - but I am a health professional - you call us vent technicians but most of us on a 12 hour shift (especially nights) struggle with weight gain - I have gone up 4 dress sizes in 5 years!

    Not sure, but I have noticed when I go to the doctors office that many of the nurses are very overweight. I always though that was strange since they are in the health profession.

    Yeah I was definitely thinking nurses! My mom had surgery yesterday in a local hospital and I would say 80% of the female staff I saw were morbidly obese. I don't mean to sound disrespectful or rude in saying that but it is true. I used to weigh between 270-307 for many years myself, and so many staffers I saw looked to be in the 20-40s age range and over 250 lb.

    Two things I noticed: signs everywhere about staff signing up for the "2014 meltdown: lose the pounds!" and an employee recognition program where the prizes were huge jars of cookies. Wow.

    When I was an amusement park employee, I weighed 95 pounds. Of course, I was 18. Now in my 38th year of teaching, I'm carrying 9 pounds more than that. I chase after 13-year-olds all day long.

    You'll pack on the pounds if you work in a restaurant. Free food.

    As a nurse I feel like nurses are often overweight. I wouldn't say 80% of us are morbidly obese. But a good amount of us are overweight

    Can I say anyone that works shift work? When I was in the military, I worked twelve-hour shifts, and that's how I got to be my heaviest.
