They say opposites attract. People with opposing viewpoints and personalities offset one another and ride off into the sunset together. It’s how love works.
But a study done by Bloomberg begs to differ. After taking a look at 3.5 million households, the study nailed down that people pretty much stay in their lane when it comes to tying the knot. Let’s explore.
Elementary- and middle-school teachers are unsurprisingly marrying one another, so your high school theories of which teachers were hooking up with who are probably not too far off base. But on the flip side, male financial analysts are also trying to dip their pen in the teacher ink, as they’re most likely to marry female elementary- and middle-school teachers as well (I’m assuming they met at a mixer in college and things took off from there).
Meanwhile, the air travel industry is seemingly the same way. Female flight attendants are marrying their managers and other flight attendants, while male flight attendants are also marrying elementary- and middle-school teachers. The same goes for farmers and ranchers (who are marrying each other), but also marrying teachers as well. These teachers sure do get around, don’t they?
Chefs and cooks are clearly hooking up with waiters and waitresses, which should surprise no one because the restaurant industry is notoriously incestuous given the hours they’re working. The retail industry’s cards fall the same way as salespeople are hooking up with salespeople.
Physicians and surgeons? Marrying each other. Secretaries and administrative assistants are marrying managers (we see you, Don Draper). Oh, and actors, lawyers, nurses, truck drivers, police officers, artists, psychologists, and musicians are all marrying each other as well (but you know, with some elementary- and middle-school teachers sprinkled in there).
So yeah, if you haven’t figured it out by now, you’re going to marry someone whose professional interests are probably very similar to yours which isn’t all that surprising considering you’re going to spend more time with your coworkers than your family. Depressing, I know. .

Yep. I’m a rancher (shocker, right?) and I’m engaged to an elementary school teacher. Yep. Parents are same way. Oh, and grandparents. Wow, my life is boring.
So if you hate your job you’ll hate your spouse?
Yes, that’s what life is all about.
Can you guys hire someone to take care of these spam accounts?
I basically profit close to $10k-$12k every month doing an online job. For those of you who are prepared to do easy att home jobs for 2h-5h each day at your house and earn valuable paycheck while doing it…

Finance-finance here. You should hear our evening conversations when one of us discovers a new Excel function.
Finance-Graphic design here. “Here, uhh, make this pie chart look pretty. Oh, and can you format my pitch book? Thanks.”
Or you could become an inventor and die poor and alone in a run down hotel room with a bunch of pigeons like Nikola Tesla but still be regarded as the most important human being to ever exist on this planet.
Sounds like the Grandex office is about to get pretty incestuous
Pretty sure it already is with all the Bromances.
The idea of marrying another CPA makes me cringe…but i guess it’d be nice to have a relationship with another functioning alcoholic.
Should I cancel my 2nd date with the female CPA then?
Elementary and middle school teachers are getting it
You didn’t even mention how daddies and mommies are usually married to each other, for a while at least.
If you read the lists, the article pretty much says all female civil engineers or female construction workers are lesbians. Don’t even give a male marriage occupation
This upsets me. I thought I was straight.
Scientist-scientist couple checking in.
Are you the nerdy, boring quiet lab scientists or do you guys blow shit up together?
Anyone else have a thing for that redhead on Mythbusters?
