Obscure occupations that make it hard to date

[b52s]

...now you're probably thinking pilots, doctors, lawyers, etc, High End jobs...but I'm not talkinga bout those...I'm finding out there are occupations out there that make it near impossible to have a social life that even I didn't know about.

 

Recently saw this ad from a mid 20's woman, that works and LIVES in the same town...at a GROUP home for troubled teen girls...says she works 24 hrs day/5 days week (thank heavens for the weekends right?)

 

Anyhow, in herp rofile she said her boyfriend or guy must be patient since she works a lot.

 

1. She lives in a VERY remote farmland area, I mean WAY out in the stix, no mayor, a township, you know the kind of places where you can dump your trash in a field and get away with it...the kind of place where you see traffic signs with buck shot and graffitt on it. lol

 

Think of the movie "Wrong Turn" lol

 

Anyways, she's a conselor of some sort and apparently is stuck out there doing this.

 

Also, had a friend of mine that date a Camp Director that was kind of the same occupation...a camp for troubled kids or something...she lived AND worked on the facility, in her mid 30's been doing it for over 10 years (since she was a young adult, heck I envy her, in this economy she better stay put...live on the premisis rent and electric bill free)

 

But they had to end it because her job required her to be there quite often, and often their work schedules conflicted.

 

That being said, ever met someone in some obscure occupation (an occupation that made you wonder if they even like the arrangements due to a lack of social life, esp. as a young single person (I think I'd go nuts in some cases in an occupatino that required to me to be there all the time)

 

Not talking about the Doctor Lawyer occuaptions, but the more obscure ones.

 

Ever had to call of a relationship because such an occuaption caused social problems? Ever dated a person in this kind of occupation, that made you even wonder why the took the job in the first place....well of course....you need a job to survive I suppose....so my next guess they might be desperately trying to find a job that's less demanding?

 

Have YOu ever been in such a job that made things like this frustrating?

I work midnights and am usually asleep when people who have the typical 9-5 jobs are finally off of work. My social circle, if you can call it such, is inadequate as a result.

I went out with someone that worked in a bar and worked such unsocial hours (well, social for the rest of us, unsocial for him because he was stuck at work) that I called it quits. I worked 9-5, he worked 5-9, it was impossible.

 

whether obscure or not is not the issue, it's about expectations and what is important to the other person. some people are at the beginning of the career and have to work hard and save. others are married to their jobs.
