If you have to decide between two career paths, go for the one which has the smaller percentage of fat guys, and the higher concentration of guys who look shredded.
I recently had to decide between two paths and the difference between them in this regard was like night and day.

This pattern can be a great macro indicator as to the lifestyle and values that go along with a given profession. I took the path with fewer fatties and autists, and it's worked out well so far.

You’re right very unusual question

it would be good if you can point out why you think so.
I've made the choice recently to go from salaryman to freelance/ independent contractor because I like the freedom and hate being bossed around. While it's true that many wageslaves are lazy fatasses, not every freelancer keeps in good shape, especially in IT.

Anything that pays well requires discipline. If someone is disciplined enough to make bank, usually they extend that to other areas of life, including their body.
Your average IT wageslave is a lazy fatass, but lots of guys in big tech are shredded. Certainly a higher percentage than the average IT population.
And in freelancing I assume that there are niches where you can make serious bank, and others that are more laid back and pay less. You can expect to see the same patterns there as well.
