For my 2 cents worth. I would like the opportunity to include occupation and if I could vote on it I would. Preferred occupation would be my choice, rather than a string of them. I have a few job hoppers in my tree and for them I would not bother with a preferred. I'd leave them blank just as I would a housewife. Merry Christmas and thanks to everyone for there questions and tips. I've learnt so much just reading through these emails.Olwyn
