What does your SO do? Is he a boring accountant? Or is he a wold famous diplomat?
Do you care either way? |

My dh is very interesting as a person and I think all jobs suck or are awesome in their own way, so I don't pay particular attention to perceived job coolness.
Also, some of the biggest control freak assholes I know who actually think they are cool and easy going have cool sounding jobs. It's almost a sign for me now that the person is probably also an asshole. |

| DH's job is best described by saying "music lawyer." His work events are awesome. |

| DH has a very "so cool" job. I, frankly, would rather he have a "so rich" job, but that's because I hate my job. |

| "Cool job" is pretty low on my list. Job that allows us to split child-duties? Job that allows contributing to comfortable household income? Those matter. |

| If by 'Cool' you mean 'job that interests him that he enjoys so that he's more pleasant to live with' then yes. |

| I don't give a fuck how cool his job is as long as it's stable and secure and puts food on the table. |

Pretty much was going to say this and add in that he enjoys it and its fulfilling for him. |

DH has a job that is not cool, for a company that's big and totally recognizable and not terribly cool, but he makes $400k+ a year. That's cool.

DH has a pretty cool job, according to some. But it gets old for me because it involves lots of long hours and international travel to places where I worry about him. It's his passion, and I'm happy he is able to work in that capacity, but yeah sometimes I wish he did something a little more 9-5 predictable, safe, and boring. But he'd be miserable, and I'd rather have him happy.
When we got married, I knew it was his dream job but there was no guarantee he would get it. It didn't factor into why I married him. |

Nope. As long as he's happy at it most of the time and it provides enough to support us. He's a policy and history geek so what's cool to him is not to others. I have a cool to me job but I'm sure it's super boring to other people. It makes me happy at least 80% of the time and pays decent so I'm happy.
