How'd you get 4g. Did it on my new character the same way in about 2 hours and got only like 2 gold.

I got most of my info from:

Thanks for the awesome spreadsheet, JohnFireEye. I hope you don't mind if I copied it to tweak it a bit. This shows which races are likely to "favour" or "dislike" certain professions. Your current spreadsheet doesn't factor in the effect of the inherent popularity of a profession or race, so naturally Human/X combos topped the charts. I thought it'd be interesting to see how much more/less likely you are to choose a profession if you choose a certain race.

The spreadsheet is good if you want to choose a specific race or profession, but you don't know if your choice is "mainstream" or "hipster" for that race/profession.

Clicky clicky for the spreadsheet.

What stands out? The obvious, tbh.

The most disproportionately popular profession choices for races (i.e. trend-followers) are:
-Engineer for Charr
-Warrior for Charr
-Warrior for Norn
-Engineer for Asura

The most disproportionately unpopular profession choices for races (i.e. hipster-bait) are:
-Mesmer for Charr
-Elementalist for Charr
-Warrior for Sylvari
-Mesmer for Norn
-Ranger for Asura
-Warrior for Asura
-Engineer for Sylvari

Suggesting to me that:
-Charr are possibly the least diverse race in terms of classes (predominantly Warriors/Engineers?)
-Norn are second in this regard (predominantly Warriors/Rangers?)
-Engineers are predominantly seen as compatible with Charr and Asura race choices
-Humans are probably the most "mixed" race in terms of profession choice
-Few races have strong tendencies to choose/reject Necromancer, although the Sylvari seem to like them
-Similarly, few races tend to over-choose/over-reject the Thief profession
