It could be millions.  How many people watch TV, or read a newspaper?

Nobody writes jokes in base 13.

Is "non consultant" a euphemism for "unemployed?"

   Probably not quite that many.  42! is a little more
than 1.4e51, which exceeds the number of active Java
programmers on Earth by a comfortable margin.

   (Definition of "a comfortable margin:" If every atom
in the oceans of the Earth, in its continents, its crust,
its core -- and oh, yes, in its inhabitants -- if every
single atom of the planet learned to program in Java there
would still be fewer than 42! Java programmers.)

   Well, the OP asked for an approximation "*ABOUT* how many", not an exact
figure...
