<p>I had no idea that many professional dancers (40%!!!) smoke – it seems CRAZY!! </p>
<p>I was serious dancer when younger, though, and I think their conclusion of present-orientation fits… “Dancers are passionate, if not obsessed, with their work; but their careers are short with dim, if not non-existent, prospects of future earnings.”</p>
<p>D is more focused on singing, and hopefully will never smoke, but I do think she also fits the present-oriented pattern – though maybe that’s just due to having a teenaged brain.</p>
