Top Five Careers with Highest Divorce Rates
It’s long been though that certain careers increase the prospects of divorce moreso than others. There have been recent studies conducted to confirm this. CEOs, military personnel, and doctors are some of the professions that come to your head when you think this, but that’s not the case. The highest divorce rates belong to dancers and choreographers followed by bartenders, massage therapists, gaming cage workers, and extruding machine operators. Females also have a slightly higher chance of divorce than males.
People from Radford University came to these conclusions based on the 2000 census. While some of the top five careers involve close contact with people other than a spouse and could therefore promote extra-marital affairs and divorces, others don’t seem to make a whole lot of sense. Why would dancers have a whopping 43.05% divorce rate? Having 32% of people who run extruding machines get divorced also doesn’t make much sense. Of course, some of these finding were certainly unexpected.
The list omits various professions from the top ten divorce rates. It seems suspicious that athletes and high-profile celebrities aren’t on the list. It seems like they would be near the top of the list, but that’s not the case. It makes you wonder why a bartender gets divorced 38.4% of the time while people in the media and communications equipment field only have a 0% divorce rate. Those who conducted the study have no clue why those professions have higher divorce rates.
One of the main reasons could possibly be working in close proximity to other people. Dancers in particular are literally thrust into the arms of someone other than their spouses on a regular basis, and it’s surmised that all of this physical contact creates extra-marital attractions. In fact, the majority of professions in the top five involved working with lots of people. Another factor may be in professions which require long hours and a great deal of dedication. Although the old adage says that “absence makes the heart grow fonder”, this university study seems to refute the truth of that belief.
