	I think your job _is_ fairly rare. Even among people in technical fields.

	Does it require a PhD?

	There you go.

	Perhaps he exaggerated a bit, but to be honest, it *is* fairly hard to 
get a job outside of academia that requires calculus knowledge, and 
doesn't require a graduate degree (at least in the US).

	It's kind of like people who know advanced CS, and are depressed to 
find almost all jobs for programmers are for code monkeys. Although I'm 
sure there are some good jobs that don't require a graduate degree in CS...
