I have read before that certain professions have a high incidence of abuse, and I thought I'd take a straw poll to see if any patterns turned up.

I had to mark other.


While we were married, he pushed buttons and made rides go, which is essentially unskilled labor.

I picked construction because that is what he is doing now (started his own business so he could work whenever he wanted not on someone else's schedule), but he used to be a professional/computer related.

I picked other. He is a counselor.. Can you believe that? AN ABUSIVE COUNSELOR WHO COUNSELS OTHERS WITH PROBLEMS......................

I choose Police/Military,...Scott wasn't really a police officer, but he did work in the law enforcement I guess you could say.

Given the number of people we've had through here whose counselors have told them to do completely counterproductive things, I imagine that that's more common than one might think, sadly.

Couldn't find the right box to check; Pinocchio had a number of stellar careers: military (with a here's your hat, what's your hurry discharge), security (reached management level and impregnated a guard), manufacturing, computers (laid off HOW many times?) farm hand/trash collector/shepherd (go ahead and snicker), cashier, and now security again.
