Keep your private and professional lives separate! Five jobs that can wreck your relationship.
If you're a fan of soap operas, specifically Falcon Crest or The Bold and the Beautiful, you may be familiar with long-haired lover-boy Lorenzo Lamas. Well, things aren't going to great for the soap star; in fact, the drama has spilled out of the daytime and into his real life.
Back in 2002 Lorenzo was on his fourth wife (anyone know what number he's on now?), Playboy model Shauna Sand. They divorced after the unlucky hunk learned wifey was having an affair with Lorenzo's 18-year-old son, A.J., according to Star. How's that for life imitating art?

A man's occupation isn't all that matters, but some jobs are undoubtedly sexy.
We're sure you know the old adage: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Well, we were reminded of this little tidbit last night while watching Top Chef Masters on Bravo.
In case you missed it, 24 master chefs are competing throughout the season—4 per episode—to win money for the charity of their choice. Now, we won't give away the conclusion to the first episode, but we thought it was important to note the surprising appeal of Hubert Keller. And, we're not typically gaga for older men, but there was just something about Keller's ease in the kitchen that … Read More

"Do Single People Work More?" User daenerra thinks that's probably true. Additionally, she thinks that special concessions should not be made for parents.Whether or not you are a parent has no bearing on what kind of work you
produce. Single people bring just as much to the table as parents.
Maybe it's the field I work in. I'm an engineer. All that talk about
"different perspectives" really don't matter in my world. It's all in
the numbers, you're either right or you're wrong. You can't have a
different "perspective" on physics.It's a pretty interesting conversation happening over there. Care to weigh in?

Commuter marriage is on the rise as people take jobs far away from their spouses.
Last year we reported that tough economic times make long distance relationships more difficult. As people struggle to make ends meet, finding cash for phone bills and plane fare has become more difficult. Well, ironically, in addition to making LDRs harder to sustain, the financial collapse has also made them more common.According to this weekend's New York Times, "commuter marriages," in which married couples live apart, are trending up, as the tough economy forces people to take jobs in far-flung locales, away from their spouses and in some instances, children.
In 2006, the Census Bureau reported that 3.6 … Read More

Which one does marriage make you?
TheStreet.com published an interesting piece on whether marriage helps or hurts an individual’s career. Turns out, the only professions in which a spouse is beneficial are clergymen, judges, police officers, and drumroll...politicians. [Insert Eliot Spitzer joke here.]
Apparently, a stable home life increases the likelihood for success. [Proceed to beat dead horse and insert follow-up Spitzer joke here.]
And said jobs wield the perfect power: If the marriage doesn’t pan out for any of the above, they can divorce, annul, or just plain sweep it under the rug.
A working mothers disagrees with a new generation of women who claim "having it all" is a myth.
I spent many years establishing a rewarding professional life before having two children—just as my biological clock was winding down—and ever since then I've felt as though I won the lottery. A great career! A wonderful husband! Two beautiful, healthy children! Lucky me!
