Divorciados de la profesion

A recent study … explores the correlation of various occupations and rates of separation and divorce. … Dancers and choreographers registered the highest divorce rates (43.1 percent), followed by bartenders (38.4 percent) and massage therapists (38.2 percent). Also in the top 10 were casino workers, telephone operators, nurses and home health aides. Three types of engineers — agricultural, sales and nuclear engineers — were represented among the 10 occupations with the lowest divorce rates. Also reporting low marital breakup rates were optometrists (4 percent), clergy (5.6 percent) and podiatrists (6.8 percent).
Esto es simple correlacion (nada de causalidad para los pocos que no estan haciendo un PhD en economia) pues claramente hay un problema de seleccion de la gente que elige las diferentes profesiones (en criollo, los coreografos tienen un perfil claramente diferente del que tienen los ingenieros). Mas aca. Esta tablita esta linda para que los egolatras se autobusquen (lo mio es amor desinteresado por el conocimiento).
