Usually, I have little interest in the Political threads.  But, I do like Business and what folks do for a living.  
From 2015, these dudes at Verdant Labs aggregated some FEC data on political party contributions and came up with this.

Some of them match very well to what I've seen:

Democrats - Pediatricians, Architects, Flight Attendants
Republicans - Sheriff, Pilots, Plumbers



If you click on any of the Industry circles, it drills down even further.  The Military and the Restaurant & Bar ones are interesting:

From my experience, anything mind related has been raped by the left. Students are taught to "worship" everyone from their professors on up, and any right leaning thought is considered a clinical problem. It's disgusting.
