The Career Clock
Analyzing the professional lifespan across different departments, from stunt burnouts to composer legends.
"Stunt performers have a 5-year peak; composers can last 40. This reveals the physical and systemic toll of different roles in the machine."
The Endurance
Test
My analysis of over 48,000 professional profiles reveals a stark truth: Hollywood is a game of physical endurance. While "The Box" (Q1 to Q3) shows where most careers live, the outliers define the industry's history.
Physical roles degrade faster due to injury risk and insurance liabilities.
Intellectual property roles compound value over time, extending career viability.
"The Race Track" visualization treats career duration as distance. The distinct fading tail of each distribution curve represents the 'attrition rate' — how quickly professionals drop out of the race.
