- hkmurakami 11y agoLooks like there's a correlation with long hours and isolated work environments away from other peer groups. Doctors for instance are well known for pairing up during the residency grind since it dramatically drops their interactions with anyone outside of their residency program and also occurs during their late 20's. A perfect storm.
- rayiner 11y agoThe top 5 is also a list of professions requiring extensive graduate education. There is a lot of pairing up in medical/dental/law school.
- sendos 11y agoFYI, the ranking has changed. The results depend on how the lines of the form "1, 10, BLANK, BLANK, 2.04E+07" are interpreted. Physicians are still up there, but some other occupations have also entered, such as "Farmers, Ranchers"
- dominotw 11y ago>Looks like there's a correlation with long hours and isolated work environments away from other peer groups. Doctors are prestige seekers who see marrying a software programmer as a step down.
