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.

Ā Ā Ā Ā This is not a new phenomena for me either.Ā 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), butĀ MANY of my peers ARE married to nurses.Ā One Land Surveyor who helped mentor me once said "always marry a nurse".Ā A simple, yet, confusing statement it was for me at the time.Ā I don't understand this 'connection" between two apparently very different professions.Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā I am guessing that perhaps there is something common in the subconscious or unconscious minds.Ā A thread of archetypical commonality, of course, must be the answer, right?Ā Or, since they say that when it comes to love and war, that opposites attract?Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā 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.Ā 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,Ā and also being among a group of professionals thatĀ must meet a standard of practice.Ā
Ā Ā Any opinions on this analysis?
