Also called: Official Clocker, Workout Timer
Times every racehorse's morning workout at the track with a stopwatch, and the official times are published for bettors and trainers.
Climbs into a tower above the track at dawn and identifies each horse galloping past by its markings and the rider's colors. You click a stopwatch at each pole, record the time and distance, and report it to the racing office. You must recognize hundreds of horses on sight.
Estimate; seasonal at many tracks.
Approximate: anchored on Bureau of Labor Statistics data for a broader job group.
High school diploma, about 0 years after high school. No degree; learned as an assistant clocker after years around racehorses.
Ways in: On-the-job training. Training cost: Get paid while you train.
Shrinking. Fewer racetracks and electronic timing reduce openings.
Medium risk in 5 years, high in 10. GPS tags and video timing already measure workouts at some tracks, so fewer clockers will be needed.
Classes: Math, Biology, Statistics.
