They Want Good Looking Women at the Drug Companies

The New York Times reports on a trend many have noticed:
Anyone who has seen the parade of sales representatives through a doctor's waiting room has probably noticed that they are frequently female and invariably good looking. Less recognized is the fact that a good many are recruited from the cheerleading ranks.

Known for their athleticism, postage-stamp skirts and persuasive enthusiasm, cheerleaders have many qualities the drug industry looks for in its sales force.
We'd bet being a cheerleader isn't necessary just being a good looking female will do.Heh,what will the women's studies departments say?
