Maids and housekeeping cleaners
Roofers
Waiters
Telemarketers
Baggage porters and concierges
Entertainers and performers, sports and related workers
Nursing, psychiatric, and home health aides
Telephone operators
Factory workers: food and tobacco
Gaming service worker
Extruding machine operator
Gaming cage worker
Massage therapists
Bartenders
Dancers and choreographers

A few of those strike me as interesting... Maids (fucked by boss?), Nurse (everyone here says they're a particularly slutty profession), massage therapists, bartenders (more promiscuous = higher divorce rate) and dancers (putting their flexibility to use out of wedlock)....

I would think lawyers would rank high up there.

Their higher income and socioeconomic background might dampen the effect their profession has on their divorce rate.

I am not certain that the divorce rate amongst lawyers, which I also would imagine should be high on that list, due to income disparities (not having enough money. Although studies state that finance is the number one cause of divorce in North America, I think that the hours that a highly paid lawyer keeps and the way their profession works plays a huge part in relationship breakdowns. If a female lawyer marries a non lawyer male, the law profession is very alpha and will often leave the female searching for more satisfying territories. She may not have the energy or time to dedicate to her relationship unless her husband is willing to be a part of the whole law team.

In terms of male lawyers versus female non lawyers, working in the legal field may create a disconnect between himself and his wife.

My speculations derive from my experiences with female lawyers. I have accompanied one to many lawyer conventions events and I find that lawyers love to jump into debates (arguments). They enjoy playing off words and the double meanings (which is their bread and butter in winning cases). So when it comes to discussing an issue that involves observing a cultural norm in a certain group (which has to be exercised greatly when living in Toronto) they may fall short.

Of course, I could be wrong hence this being a speculation on the law part.
Rooshians involved with legal people can feel free to chime in and correct me.

Everyone knows telemarketers get all of the extra-marital ass...

Female feminist relationship adviser. Just made that up

[Cincinnatus]

A lot of those jobs comprise mostly lower and working-class individuals. As I understand it, the rate of divorce among middle and upper class (i.e. college educated and wealthy) families is lower.

When I worked as a medical consultant my relationship went under a lot of strain because I would work 12-14 hours a day. My boss told me that our ilk (doctors, lawyers, board of director types) get bitched at by our wives all the time because we are so focused on work. However, they stop complaining when they can spend $1,000 while shopping on the regular.

The first thing a woman looks for in her LTR is that her needs are taken care of. Second is having someone to entertain her.

Oil industry, especially guys who work away from home for long periods of time like I do, which is why I will never get married or even begin a long term relationship while I work up north. The divorce rate among my co-workers is insane/

I know so many guys who hooked up with their wives or GFs when they were working away, making big money, then the woman complains that the guy is never around, so he gets a job in the city (lower pay of course), then they bitch about a lack of funds, then they leave!

[Mrs. Chocolate]

radio/TV professionals could be at that list: never at home, crazy schedrule.

[Sourcecode]

I would also toss in the military..
especially these days.
Guys get married..move around all the time..get deployed..
wife gets burned out and might look for other guys..(especially those younger wives)

guy comes back with new experiences and thoughts on life.
alot of people simply arent the same once they come back.

I know older couples that just didnt have the same things in common an only realized it after being apart and alot of younger guys end up becoming more mature individuals and realized their wives or people they are around are still kids

[chyamor]

How did traders now make that list

Yup. The divorce rate among college grads is half of what it is among the general population. I'd guess that engineers have among the lowest divorce rates - stable job, moderate hours, and the guys are usually boring, and of good character, and tend to attract similar women.

[Don Pelayo]

I was thinking of getting married at some point. I ditched the idea a while back. Cohabitation is perfectly fine if you're in a relationship, I figure. Even better if you have a few girls around on a steady rotation.
No way, esp. after reading everything on this great forum of ours.
I think this is the nail in the coffin though-

ex-wife buys Hummer with license plate that reads "HIS CASH".
sick.

I have done roofing and a lot of other construction trades, and I think there is a more logical reason why the divorce rate is higher for roofers than other professions.

A LOT of alpha males work in that field, the hard work builds hard character, and in turn I've met gentlemen who hold down attractive women for no longer than a year at a time, and usually cheat during that period aswell.

Drugs. A lot of drugs float around other construction groups of roofers and even some that I have worked with for a short time, and as a result wives are quick to leave their drug addicted husbands.

Plus, unlike most trades that require some college education, roofing is labor intensive work and pays fairly decent considering, so many drug addicts flock to it for a couple days. I think that stat is off in the sense that you should really be looking at divorce rates for drug addicts, not roofers, as roofing is an easy way for drug addicts to make a good wage without having had any higher education or working their way up in a company.

I was going to say the same thing as you did.

Also with the gaming employees, they tend to be massive amount of sex going on after work as drugs and alcohol flow when the employees are done with the shift.

How is military not in there?

This and most of those jobs are for socially extroverted people. If you're interacting with many people each day you're bound to find someone better who is dtf.

[Vicious]

I think you guys are making a mistake if you try to find infidelity as the sole reason behind these professions high divorce rate. My guess is that the awkward work hours and low pay most of these jobs have are a bigger reason for dischord within the marriage.

[MHaes]

Yeah, not everything has to do with sex or lack thereof. I know we all are guys who have "taken the pill" and see gender relations as they really are, but don't let all that new found knowledge cloud your view. Sure, it offers explanations for a lot of cultural phenomena, but there are plenty of other factors that could be in play as well.

A lot of these jobs are pretty shitty, and due to the low pay and long hours I wouldn't be surprised if alcohol and drug addiction are common amongst these laborers. That, and the low pay/long hours are more likely to be the reasons for the high divorce rates.

[Dr. Howard]

Maids+housekeepers I would think would be due to schedule vs. some porn fantasy. The time schedule however is usually only part time and has good cover. They work a couple of hours in the morning (hotels) or at night (offices) so they have weird hours off to start relationships with co workers or other people in the same social class...same for gaming workers. The ones I knew all worked screwed up hours and all hung out together. Furthermore, to sustain a cheating relationship or divorce monkey branch said cleaning lady just has to add the new guys house to her cleaning rotation to disguise it.

Last, extrusion workers...wtf. The first thing i thought of is this image of chicks working at the dildo factory divorcing their husbands en masse every time a new product line came out.

Bartenders was also no surprise, same for roofers, massage therapists...well that one affirms my suspicion that a job that is all touchy feely where you work alone with people in a dark room has got to be fraught with problems.
