Careers that limit your ability to socialize outside of work, due to location (eg military) or hours (eg lawyers, teachers), lead to people marrying within their industry. This shouldn't be a big surprise.
- gnicholas 5y agoHow do the hours worked by teachers prevent them from socializing outside of work? I understand how lawyers are limited in this regard, as I've known many lawyers who regularly pulled 80 hour weeks. But I've never known a teacher who worked nearly this many hours. I used to be a lawyer and now work in edtech, so I've known plenty of folks in both professions. What am I missing?
- onion2k 5y agoMy partner used to be a teacher and she worked 60 to 70 hours a week at the start of her career. It's the main reason she isn't a teacher any more. Most of the people she trained with and worked with have also left teaching for similar reasons. This is in the UK, so perhaps it's different where you are.
