What occupation do engineers marry?

I have to second Chucktown, do you want your kids to grow up hating and fearing you?
My wife is a reading specialist, but is now a stay-at-home watching all three of the girls.

Dude I love the avatar! How did you get the cat to stand still long enough to take the picture?

I think engineer/teacher or nurse combo works best.

Makes sense. I guess a teacher or nurse would have the patience to deal with arrogant bastards like us.

 

[FusionWhite]

Im married to a psychologist.

Im so sick of getting asked "Maybe she could figure out whats wrong with my wife/husband/kid/other crazy relative".

I think the engineering mentality we all have can make us difficult to be with. I guess its because we are typically opinionated and generally feel we are always right due to our path of reasoning and overthinking. So it takes a special person to know how to deal with that.

I'm married to a housewife. Because as an engineer I make the fatty money.

My wife is a teacher. Several guys in the office are married to teachers as well, and most of my friends in college were dating ed majors. I think this happens because engineering is primarily male enrollment, and education is primarily female enrollment, so we just naturally blend together.

Interesting - I am a female engineer who was married to a male english teacher. Sadly, we have been divorced now for about as long as we were married (8 years). I think he had a difficult time with my wage compared to his, and because I worked much longer hours than him, I was unable to prepare dinner for him on a regular, timely basis.

Wife is a tech analyst (i think) with Cyberdyne Systems. . .(i've said too much) - lets just say a 'software' corporation

I'm a female chemical engineer dating a computer programmer... finally a man who needn't have a wage-inferiority complex!

My wife worked in a papermill. We met while I was in OCS and my drill instructor kept calling me Mayonnaise and we got in a big fight.

Oh wait... that's a movie. My wife is a project manager working on her MBA and her PMP. When we first met, she was working in finance.

If your wife is a PMP does that make you a HO?

For those who havent seen the thread with the picture of my wifes tattoo, she's a nurse.

Yes, and she slaps me around when I hold back on giving her my money.

My new wife (dated for 6yrs) is taking her masters in Nursing, works per Diem at the hospital, and teaches undergrad. When she gets out, she'll be a FNP or LNP (i never could keep track of which).

She's going back to school again to get her Masters in Nursing degree to move up to more of an administrative role at the hospital.
