 Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Your weight has a lot to do with how you eat and exercise, but it may also be tied to what you do for a living.

CareerBuilder did a study that shows some occupations may actually make you fat.

Travel agents, judges, teachers and doctors appear to pack on the pounds. Police officers and firefighters seem to have a higher incidence of weight gain also.

CareerBuilder points out all those jobs are either high stress or require a lot of sitting.

More than half of those surveyed say their weight gain was due to sitting at a desk most of the day.
