For the sake of diversity, it should be a little more than the split would dictate. I don't think that model would suggest there is any problem yet.
When I look at the list of GA's, the problem I have is the overabundance of lawyers and MBA's and...ahem...rich people. I'd like to see some more farmers, high school chemistry teachers, insurance salesmen, accountants who did local folk's taxes not the accountants who consult on mergers...guys who gave their lives to wife and kids and service. Can't we have at least a few of those types?

Would you care to provide the professional breakdown of the GAs by percentage? What about their net worth?
