I know a lot of Surveyors world wide, some personally and some via email and phone, I have found out over the years a lot of my colleagues are or were married to someone in the medical field.
I personally was for 18 yrs....
what does your significant other do?

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

This is not a new phenomena for me either. Not that I am married to a nurse (well my wife has two sisters that are nurses and that's as close as I get), but MANY of my peers ARE married to nurses. One Land Surveyor who helped mentor me once said "always marry a nurse". A simple, yet, confusing statement it was for me at the time. I don't understand this 'connection" between two apparently very different professions.
I am guessing that perhaps there is something common in the subconscious or unconscious minds. A thread of archetypical commonality, of course, must be the answer, right? Or, since they say that when it comes to love and war, that opposites attract?
Having to choose between the two, I would estimate that one profession complements the other in the sense that each one's knowledge broadens the mind of the other. The common thread idea may also have a role, however, since both are continuously learning and educating themselves by mandate or by the curiosity of personal and professional improvement, continuously helping other people, and also being among a group of professionals that must meet a standard of practice.
Any opinions on this analysis?
