What is OUR demographic?

4 replies
I have always wondered this: what is the demographic represented by IMers? What are our biggest age groups, and which of those groups are full-time IMers versus part-time? I always see people post about working in IM full-time and I wonder how old they are.. and when I see people post that they are doing IM at the age of 15 or whatever, I wonder if they dropped out of school to do it full time..

I think we could all learn a lot about our partners, competitors, and (for some of you) customers by gathering this information about ourselves! Plus it will be interesting

Copy the table from the last post into your post, and add yourself in!

Format is Age: Number (Full Time / Part Time split)

Where the number represents the total number of people so far in that age range, and the two numbers in parentheses represent the number of people in that age range who are full-time and part-time IMers, respectively.

For example, to start us off, I have added myself under 20-24 part-time IMer.

<20: 0 (0 full time, 0 part time)
20-24: 1 (0 full time, 1 part time)
25-29: 0 (0 full time, 0 part time)
30-34: 0 (0 full time, 0 part time)
35-39: 0 (0 full time, 0 part time)
40-44: 0 (0 full time, 0 part time)
45-49: 0 (0 full time, 0 part time)
50-54: 0 (0 full time, 0 part time)
55-59: 0 (0 full time, 0 part time)
60+: 0 (0 full time, 0 part time)
