Do you have any preferred occupations for your SO? (date, woman, love)

[Inebriated Duck]

Uh, don't really care. But then again, I've never gone out with a lawyer. So maybe in the future when I actually date, I may change my preferences.

I had an Ex who had a law degree and was in sales. One of the last things I said to her was I'd rather not even be friends.

No actors or aspiring actors (ugh!). Everyone else is on a case by case basis.

I think ol' Willy was on to something....

I wholeheartedly agree with this.

I like power positions though (CEO, VP..). I find the alpha in the working world intriguing, probably because I am the polar opposite of that personality type.

Most of the CEOs, Presidents and EVPs that I know are salesman or started out in sales. Even if they weren't in actual sales, the majority of them are great pitchmen.

And I'm cool with commission and bonuses...assuming there's a decent base salary.

My husband is an executive in sales...aka a salesman. He thought about law (and would have been great at it), but he decided better of it because you don't break even until you're 40.

Not really, unless it were some for men.

However, my wife has said she'd like to be a housewife but we can't afford it.

I generally gravitated towards those in law enforcement or the military and found myself turned off by those in "creative" fields, such as writing, music, etc..
