I got summoned to Jury duty in California and got out of it by ....
Taking the bus.
They can't transfer you to another district (as they will do if they don't have immediate use for you) if you can show that you don't have means of transportation readily available. They tried to get tricky by making us answer a survey about how we got to the courthouse, but they really used it to dismiss all two of us who didn't respond that we drove ourselves to the courthouse.
More standardly, I've heard that lawyers will generally try to excuse jurors who seem to have (1) high education or (2) appear to have authority. The reasoning for this is that the lawyers want to minimize who besides themselves can persuade the jury. The common advice from here tends to be wear your college paraphernalia if its prestigious, or very formal office attire if you're a lawyer, businessman, doctor, etc.
Good Luck.
