hi. im a junior in a top 30 university (US news) double majoring in business administration and psychology. i am thinking of potential careers to get into where i can meet a potential husband who is intelligent, loyal and financially stable.
i am physically attractive, but i've been played by soooo many (frat) guys who are players. i made the mistake of joining a sorority and ended up meeting a lot of shady (frat) guys. i don't want to make the same mistake with my career.
and would you say it's bad to work with your husband? like co workers. or be in the same field as your husband?
an advice i want. for example, i was talking to a frat guy (who was like 40 yrs old, so he's pretty wise?!) last night and he was telling me to be a pharmaceutical rep. as i'll get to meet many physicians and doctors through the job, and it's relatively decent pay.
big generalisation but would you say doctors have many girls going for them, i don't want that much competition...

i mean i know this is a rather peculiar question, and that i will have to click with the guy. but i want to maximise my chances of meeting a great guy with my career. i've been meeting players and been cheated, and a big reason is because of the type of guys i meet.
i don't want to be cheated in my marriage....

well i understand what everyone is talking about. but i'm not so sure which career i want to go to anyways. i mean, honestly, i don't think i'll like my career. people go into careers they hate for ulterior motives. do people in ibanking actually like it? i doubt most of them do. it's for the money. i want to be exposted to good guys rather than bad guys...like if i went to a night club, the chances of me meeting a good guy is slimmer than if i went to a church.
as long as i don't do a job i HATE i'm fine. and if a job enables me to meet great people, it can't be that bad of a job!
it's impossible to generalize but for example. in college, business students tend to be more outgoing, more playerish whereas med students study really hard and especially those who excel, they don't have time to party and all that thus they're less of a player. i mean i know this is a huge generalization, but i'm sure statistics could support at least parts of it....

The best career will be one that puts you in touch with many other people outside of your company. So aim for a kind of networking position which requires that you build relationships with your customers. But I would personally never look to date a coworker.

I won't ridcule you as I am reading what other people are saying to you. In some odd way, I understand your question. The problem is there is no such career. The kind of guy you are looking for is most likely away from home all the time and still has open field to cheat even when it appears you are the only one. There is no open way of knowing such things and that's what makes dating scary and fun. Its fun to shop around when you meet someone occassionally satisfying but a bummer when you meet someone who doesn't care or share the same feelings as you. I too want to look towards a future with a family. I am very career oriented but have been told that I am too career strong. It's not that I want to be...it's because there is no one to share a intimate relationship with, that I have found, and I am sure that is your problem.
You mentioned you were in a sorority and that frat guys are all you meet? well maybe you should look for regular college students who also meet Some of the characterisitics that you want. Frat guys are typically the worst guys, no offense, and not someone you would want to settle down with right now but maybe in the future they will retire their paddles and player ways.
Lastly, you have a while to think about those things, and although it seems not existent now, you will find someone that meets your EVERY need. So chill out and focus on what you are going to do with those double degree missy. They will come in handy. Once a guys can see that you can take care of you, then they will begin to appear in your life.
Take care, hope this helps.

I'm sorry to break the news to you but the profession of a man does not indicate his faithfulness.
Any man can be a faithful husband and any man can turn into a scumbag...no matter what his profession.
You will meet successful men thru your work and that is fine. Its not an awful thing to date coworkers but it can get akward so I would avoid it if possible.
And don't base your career choices on what kind of men you'll meet. I hate to say this but you sound desperate. You should pick a career based on what you enoy doing and your interests.
You will meet a man no matter what kind of work you do, even if you were a teacher at an all girl's school. Men are everywhere. Also, you are very young and should not concern yourself so much with getting a husband. Enjoy dating and learn from your dating mistakes...they all lead up to finding "the one".

It's a bad idea to date your coworkers or your clients. You should focus on meeting guys through social, not professional, networks.
You can find intelligent, loyal, financially stable men in almost any career, just as you can meet crass, dishonest, and irresponsible men in any career.
You should focus on finding the career that best suits your talents and interests - you're getting a B.A. degree, not a MRS. degree. If you take a job you don't like just in hopes of meeting a certain type of guy, then you'll be dissatisfied with your work, and people will be able to see that you're being insincere. You'd essentially be living a lie, and it's hard to love a liar. It's much better to do what you enjoy, and let your positive energy attract people towards you.

Life is so funny and you have a lot to learn. I can't think of any one (or two) career fields where the majority of the men are "intelligent, loyal, and financially stable." I think you should go into whatever field interests you and stop worrying so much about whether you will meet such a man in the process. Besides, just because he is seemingly, "intelligent, loyal, and financially stable" does not mean that he will not cheat and that you will live happily ever after.

Don't pick a career just on the mere chance of finding the husband of your dreams! You may be looking for a job for long, long time or job hopping quite often. Just concentrate on getting a job that will enhance your skills and knowledge and just be yourself. In time, you will find Mr. Perfect as long as you don't settle for the first guy who shows you an ounce of attention.

This is a foolish question. I would say there is no specific career that is gonna help you with meeting a man that you just described. Choose the career you want.....not one that will help you find a man!!!!

You should forget marriage. You think way tooo much about yourself to ever make a marriage work.
Marriage is (like Life) mostly about what you can do for the other person, rather than what they can do for you.
