Jobs That Make You Fat
June 7, 2012 9:55 AM 
Think about your job for a minute. Is your day stressful? Do you have lack of movement? These factors could be contributing to your weight gain. It makes sense. Eating a lot of take out at your desk, indulging in doughnuts and snacks as a quick fix, it all adds up especially if you don’t get up and move around. In fact, a study by Harris Interactive revealed that 44% of surveyed workers said their weight gain was due to their job. Career Builder has put together a list of sedentary jobs that could make you fat. (Not ranked but rather grouped together because of their potential to cause weight gain.)
1. Travel agent
2. Attorney/Judge
3. Social worker
4. Teacher
5. Artist/designer/architect
6. Administrative assistant
7. Physician
8. Protective services (police, firefighter)
9. Marketing/public relations professional
10. Information technology professional
So I guess the study is trying to tell us we can legitimately blame being overweight on our jobs, oh and of course that we should make a point to get up and get some exercise.
