Divorce jobs: If you're a dancer, a telemarketer or a roofer, your marriage is doomed

A study came out of Radford University recently that used census data to determine which occupations have the highest rates of divorce. We over at CultureMap decided to take the analysis a step farther and speculate why.

Why do 26.85 percent of roofers get divorced? Because they're tired of being on top. Ba-dum-ching!

Others are more obvious — like bartenders (38.43 percent) and people in the gambling industry (with two spots at 31.35 percent and 34.66 percent) but others were harder to explain. We don't have any idea what an "extruding machine operator" is, much less why they're so hard to live with.

Telemarketers, 28.1 percent of whom get divorced, we can see. They're miserable, if not miserable people, sometimes both.

But the number one job that counts divorce among its occupational hazards? Dancers and choreographers, a whopping 43 percent of whom get divorced. Maybe it's to do with the long days of touching other people's incredible bodies. Or something.

Hey, it's not like any of us are doing that well. What do you think? Are you surprised by the results? Which profession did you think would be the No. 1 divorce job?
