One lives in a chaotic and fast-paced world, the other lives in an ordered world. For example, a watchmaker and astrologer, understand that patience is a virtue - they probably drive with lots of space around them, they drive at a reasonable speed, they take their time, they don't care about being late because they know saving a few minutes is not worth creating a catastrophe. On the other hand, you have doctors, psychologists, lifeguards - people who believe the world would fall appart if they didn't show up on time. What you have are two groups.

I am sure some of the trend you are seeing is age related not profession related. How many 60 year old lifeguards do you know, and conversely how many 20 year old astrologers do you know?
