This is a list of people by occupation; Note that some people have multiple occupations.
See also List of people by name.
This manually created and maintained list is perhaps obsolete, and may eventually be abandoned, as the new Categories options begin to adopted. Simply typing a category designation such as [[Category:Musicians|Bush, Kate]] anywhere at the bottom of a person's page will create an entry for that individual on the page for all people in that category, ie: Musicians. All the categories that a person is linked to will be displayed at the bottom of their page. This system has begun to be used on the Wikipedia, and it has many advantages, though the categories created here will perhaps not need to be much more extensive than those that have already been created.
