===Full-time careers=== [[File:7.13.08PointPleasantByLuigiNovi14.jpg|thumb|left|A fortune-telling storefront on the boardwalk in [[Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey]]]] Some fortune tellers support themselves entirely on their divination business; others hold down one or more jobs, and their second jobs may or may not relate to the occupation of divining. In 1982, Danny L., and Lin Jorgensen found that "while there is considerable variation among [these secondary] occupations, [part-time fortune tellers] are over-represented in human service fields: counseling, social work, teaching, health care."<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Harv|Jorgensen|Jorgensen|1982|p=377}}</ref> The same authors, making a limited survey of North American diviners, found that the majority of fortune tellers are married with children, and a few claim graduate degrees.<ref>{{Harv|Jorgensen|Jorgensen|1982|p=337}}</ref> "They attend movies, watch television, work at regular jobs, shop at K-Mart, sometimes eat at McDonald's, and go to the hospital when they are seriously ill."<ref>{{Harv|Jorgensen|Jorgensen|1982|p=387}}</ref> {{Clear}}
