[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a career nanny with a degree and a specialty in special needs children. It does change the tone of the conversation with some men. Those are not guys I'd like to be around any longer. Some are really quite rude about it and talk about getting a "real job." I used to own a business and made a lot of money then, but it was not at all fulfilling. I walked away because it was not the lifestyle I wanted. If a guy can't understand that, he isn't worth my time. [/quote]

Wow. I have a cool sounding career but men rarely ask me for specifics or care beyond knowing that I work and am self-sufficient. Most guys I know would be happy with a teacher since it translates to being a good mom.[/quote]

PP here. I should add that I prefer not talking about work. When folks ask what I do, I say that I'm a gov't employee. If asked, I mention that I work for State Dept. I'm a Foreign Service Officer and it rarely comes out initially because I prefer NOT to talk about work with potential dates. I've dated likeminded attorneys/physicians/etc unknowingly because I didn't lead with my career and vice versa. Its not something that defines me. I honestly can't think of a time in a bar (or anywhere) and had a guy ask me about work. It usually comes out later. OP, you should change either your social circle or the venues where you hang.

The irony of this thread is my girlfriends who are attorneys often felt like their colleagues always married teachers.[/quote]
