Yeah I’d model that as a representative set of lifestyles (banker, techie, service worker, cop, construction worker, uber driver, teacher, doctor, etc)

You could do a comparative study of taxi drivers in each study. Could be a myth but I've heard their brains undergo changes due to having the equivalent of downloaded maps.
