Hmmmm....well first off I like to hear anyone that I am dating has a job period! I like interesting jobs though...for instance

Say they work for the newspaper
A teacher
An artist of some kind of field
A pilot(although I would worry all the time)
Some one that works for the environment
A reporter
Someone that works with animals
Someone that deals with science
And anything that is interesting believe or not I am a great listener.

I like to hear your thoughts......

Short order cook at the local greasy spoon.

Ah... true love.

Any job that is stable and pays more than mine.

Something NOT in the porn industry.

Or Meth.

I assume you like fast cars.

Perhaps it'd be easier to go with the exclusions:

- military

- any sort of law enforcement

- day traders

- drug dealers (it's a profession for some...)

- blue-collar - not that I have anything against them; it's just that normally we wouldn't click

- attorneys

- sales people

That's it for now... While the last 3 may be negotiable on a person-to-person basis, the first 4 are not.

I would prefer something professional - white collar. If they were in the technology field, even better.

No one that works for anything like...oh..pro-life organizations, PETA, ACLU, etc. Nothing illegal of course.

I would echo the previous sentiment regarding attorneys, but I threw that one out a few months ago.
