When someone mentions a job to you, what sort of generic image do you have in your head for the kind of person that does that kind of job?
Scientist: Tawny-haired man with a bowl cut, thick horn-rimmed glasses, a long white jacket, and think veiny hands. (The hands are important for some reason.)
School Principal: A woman with long, peaked red hair. She wears shapeless dresses and large hoop earrings.
Police Officer: Young woman with her tight blonde hair in a bun. Has a skinny neck.
Screenplay Writer: Chubby guy with a sweat-stained shirt. Has a large nose and beat-up sneakers.
Fireman: Burly guy who wears blue, form-fitting T-shirts everywhere. His hair is cropped short and his jeans are slightly torn.
Coffee Shop Owner: Frumpy older woman with a lot of curly hair and big, puffy lips–but her smile is cheerful.
Theater Actor: A man with a disproportionately large chin, pronounced cheekbones, and messy black hair.
