[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guy here.  The only issue I would have marrying a Physician is the hours they may be required to work.  I have a job where I work 40 hrs / week, making decent money (200K/yr).  I have no problem being with someone who makes more than me (400K /yr is starting to get to decent money).

But, if she is working 70-80 hours per week, she will be too tired for a life outside of work.

I don't think anyone mentioned this in the nursing thread. Which is interesting because I know many nursed that work 70 hour weeks. Nurses were okay because they are seen as smart enough and sexy, Most importantly caring ans nurturing, and will cater to the man.

These threads are so silly, if you want a guy be attractive and cater to him.[/quote]

Nurses don't have to work 70 hrs/week.  Nurses don't have to take call.  Nurses don't have to come in suddenly in their day off because the patient they had yesterday isn't doing well.  Nurses don't have obligations to their work or patients beyond the hourly work they do.  Some drs work shift work too, but many don't and often have unpredictable schedules and have to come in on off days, stay late/early, answers calls in the middle of the night, go in emergently...they are responsible for people in a longer term  way that is not comparable to what a nurse does or their schedule.

There is also a big different in the schedules of different types of physicians.  A dermatologist has a very different work life than a general surgeon.
