Marry a vet, avoid divorce

Vets, agricultural engineers and teachers are all less likely to divorce than dancers, bartenders and nurses, according to research which claims your job is key to a happy marriage.

Those who work in the caring professions or who have jobs that are extrovert and stressful are more likely to split from their partner.

Dancers, choreographers, massage therapists and bartenders have around a 40 per cent chance of experiencing a relationship breakdown. Also at high risk are nurses, psychiatrists and those who help the elderly and disabled.

However, optometrists, dentists and clergymen carry a 2 to 7 per cent chance of family breakdown. Agricultural engineers are most faithful.

The trend has been highlighted in a paper that correlates occupations with divorce and separation rates, to be published in the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology.
