Cops, lawyers everyone can serve in a jury. If you can not afford to take the time off because it would be truly harmful(ie not able to pay for rent or food) just be honest and stress that point.
If not the best way to get off is to make the lawyers or judge not want you. For instance if you are goign to be doing a Civil trial and the case is about false reporting of video game sales tell them you post at a Video Game sales charts and also tell them that you think the PS3/Wii/360 is over/undertracked by VGchartz/GfK/Chart Track/NPD/Mediacreate/Famitsu and that you know the real numbers.
Essentially lawyers and judges do not want to have people that know too much about the subject of the trial since when a jury can not use any external knowledge and has to accept what the court presents as fact to be fact...kinda screwy I know.
