Yes, I couldn't flesh out the equation, as they are disproportionately represented in the investment community, at least in the Northeast. As for accounting, that's actually the profession where the products of the working class lift themselves up by their bootstraps, requiring only a bachelor's degree, at least before they changed the rules. They transition from the farm or their heavy industry working class communities, heading to a Big 10 school, picking up an accounting degree, and climbing the chain at some firm. Many accountants are corn-fed farm boys and, man, Mormons also love that major, as BYU cranks out a lot of them, so they have the wherewithal to breed earlier.
It kind of dovetails in with the Jewish stereotype of being good with figures. The Schottenstein family owns the Value City and DSW retail empire, also has a liquidation business as part of the empire. Legend has it that when the late Jerome Schottenstein went to a store that needed to be liquidated, he could do the math in his head.

Haha. Another paesan. I'd have a "goomba" (incorrect spelling btw) doctor to throw my business his way, and because I'd probably get along with him better, but I ain't in the Northeast. I've got a good one right now, and he's a WASP.
As far as doctors and attorneys go, most doctors and attorneys are not Jewish, but most Jewish professionals are doctors and attorneys. And, if you don't believe me, go to Lauderdale on vacation, pick up the hotel phone book which I do in places just to see how the last names shake out, go to the yellow pages under Attorneys, and I guarantee you will say "Oy vey."
I can't believe this thread is still going. This OP is ENTHRALLED with the CONCEPT of dating or snagging a physician. Any professional who has earned his or her stripes, and is attractive, has the right to be selective. If you haven't been on this sub-forum long enough, there's nothing that torques the ladies more than knowing that certain demographics or attributes throw them out of the running.
This chick, the OP, authored a thread about a new husband putting kids from another marriage on his will. Her recurring theme is economics. My last straw with Atlanta debutantes was with a girl whose mother said that "I'd be a good provider" (I ain't no doctor or attorney, not even close) and then she'd throw in jabs like "You'd never make it at IBM" (where her Dad worked) because I'm not the conformist she expected to complete her post-sorority world. Couple that with BAD sex, the kind that resembled playing doctor (no pun intended) and the fact that, charged with counting collections at the parish, she talked about people in the parish's contributions and/or wealth ... and you have someone who needs to be drop-kicked. A woman whose underlying current in her discussions is frequently economics is poison. I know women who are CPAs and they RARELY want to talk about MONEY outside of work, thank God, and instead we talk about family, friends, travel, restaurants, current urban issues, and other things.
I wish I could say parents of girls weren't still like this, but many are. I know in my 20's my mother would judge men based on what they could provide for me and when I would say I hoped to provide for myself she would get weird. In her mind pretty girls married men who had good careers and became sort of trophy wives. She's gotten over this but it was a struggle in my 20's and part of the reason I avoided marriage or serious relationships for the most part.
I do think economics plays an important part though in dating but not like many other women. I'm not concerned with what a man makes as long as I don't have to support him. However I am concerned in terms of dating because I don't want to support another woman's family but that's not really the same thing as what some women (and some men though less)do in terms of dating men who will support them.

well, the man has to be able to hold on to a decent job and be able to provide for his future family. There is nothing wrong with it. He certainly does not need a doctor's income though.

I don't think there's anything wrong with not wanting to date a man who is paying child support if that's what you mean. It isn't that I want him to spend that money to take me shoe shopping, but child support is a LONG TERM obligation and if I got serious with a guy like that or married him, it becomes my obligation too. No thanks.
I've had guys tell me before they were picky and it never ended well. I think telling the opposite sex you are picky is kind of a turn off anyway.

I don't agree. My brother is at least an "8" (of course, it's all relative) - 6' 2", athletic, handsome, hilarious, not a playboy, and a very compassionate guy. He looks a lot like Bob Saget, actually (his friends would call him that) and is very George Clooney-esque in demeanor. But we were raised as traditional Catholics and this is a hard match to find. It was almost a miracle that he was able to find someone accomplished and who shares the same values and who comes from the same faith, especially here in Methodist/Lutheran country.

Very important issue. I'll be the first to admit, I don't want to support someone else's seed and I won't.
Aside from that, what's more important to me is education, intellect and values. I don't care if someone has a Masters in Social Work but makes $30,000 a year. Hopefully, that means she is a bright woman who also has compassion for others.
Correct. And the doctor is going to get more selective with each year that passes and becomes more proficient at is profession. He has every right to be careful with mate selection. Like I said in an earlier post, my brother used to tell chicks he'd meet at bars that he was a roofer Quote]
