    I am shocked the military isn't on that list, but that isn't your typical job. But I've heard the divorce rate is well over 50%.

      So low-paying jobs and jobs that put you around attractive people of the opposite sex all the time (sports, bartenders). Not surprised.

      But like you I am surprised lawyers aren't somewhere on this list.

          I guess it all depends on how they classified the jobs. Some of the jobs listed were too specialized, so lawyers or police may have a lot, but if you then break it down to different types or titles, you don't get a high percentage.

            Roofers? Is there something I missing here?

            Not surprised with the rest though.

              Most people I know, who do roofing, work out of town.

                Yeah, roofing is a freaking terrible job.

                Long hours, lots of travel unless you have a solid base town to work out of, lot of stress, and I can imagine that the constant work (I only did it for a summer) would be incredibly stressful and would probably lead to some arguments and bad situations at home.

                  This whole list seems off. Clergy end up divorced a lot if I recall , as do lawyers dr's and dentists.

                      I'm surprised that airline pilots are not on the list. Being out of town for days at a time could be bad for a relationship, but then again I guess you can't get mad at each other when you don't see each other.

                        Most Military people do not get a divorce until after they are out. The whole Family culture of the Military is hilarious: Offer great bonuses to people who get married, Then they have kids, and all of a sudden they cannot afford to not re-enlist.

                        What a wildly diabolical plan, Props to them though, it sure does work.

                            Thanks I had no idea that roofing was that stressful and taxing a job in terms of being away from home and such.

                            No wonder...

                              I agree. There are a lot of divorced people in the military. Including myself. I know a guy whos on his 4th wife.
