Weird trend: All the women I connect with on online dating, well not ALL, but a SIGNIFICANT number of them, are involved in some sort of special education or developmentally-disabled services.

I live in New Jersey, if that affects the discussion.

So, yeah, that's it. It's just really odd. We're talking more than half the girls.
Maybe it's just these are the only jobs left in the economy because they're backed by government dollars? I dunno, I think it's just really weird

It takes a special person to do this. Seems you are attracted to a person whom has patience and a huge heart. OP this is a good thing.

Everyone's going to go berzerk when I say this, but it's probably because it's a) fairly easy to get an education degree and b) most people don't want to teach special education, so there are probably more jobs available and they're easier to get. That's the long and short of it. It's basically just an exercise in patience because, being blunt here, there's no pressure. Your students don't really have to pass any tests and you really don't have to teach much.

You guys misunderstand, these aren't women whom I like in particular, it's just who's on the dating sites and responds to me and we communicate eventually

Most of the women here have degrees in Sociology, Psychology, Gender or "Women's Studies", Edicmaction, IT and/or Mass Comm/PR. I long for a woman with a History major .

Not necessarily so. Special ed also includes programs for gifted kids. Those kids do take tests and require a more intense curriculum.

Head over to Berkeley, and you'll find lots of language majors, Ethnomusicology, English lit, and Asian Studies majors.
