Today in my class with Karla, we were going around the table introducing ourselves. (There are only nine students in that class, so it didn’t take too long.) At one point, after about three students, Karla stopped us,
“So wait, do you all want to get married? Doctors and engineers seem to be the men of choice. Let me tell you something about doctors. If you really want to marry one, do not go for family practice or internal medicine doctor. They never get any time off. Surgeons are also a bad choice. Something about the very job of a surgeon requires a certain personality. I recently heard of a colleague who went abroad and tried to kill himself because he was getting a divorce after he cheated on his wife. I wish that were the first surgeon I knew who had done that, but he wasn’t. All surgeons are very arrogant. Something about being in control of every little aspect of another person, just like their job. Never marry a surgeon.
“If you guys are determined to marry a doctor, go for dermatologists. They have great pay, very little on-call time, and they can fix your skin.
“Engineers also seem to be a great match for nurses. I know a lot of nurses who are married to engineers and they all love it. I really like my artist-husband, too, so that’s always a choice.”
She also told us that we had to have any guy be interviewed by her before she would let us get married. She would do a whole health history on them, including a complete psychosocial history (which is really intensive.)
So now my poor future husband has to not only pass my dad, my brothers, and my pastors from both churches, but also my nursing professor.
At this rate, I’ll have a hard time finding a husband. =)
