I could probably figure it out. He couldn't do mine, though...
-
I don't have the strength or capacity to be a roughneck
He doesn't have the patience or filter to work in HR!
-
Yup, cause we work at the same place and used to work in the same group!
-
Yeah, no. He's a civil engineer and science is so not my strong suit, neither is math any more.
He couldn't do either of my previous jobs either - teaching in a high needs school, and social work. Come to think of it, he couldn't do my current job of SAHP either!
-
No. He is an investment accountant. I don't even fully understand how the stock market works. He couldn't do mine either though, I'm a lawyer
-
If I got my certification, then I could be a teacher. But I don't like dealing with big groups of teenagers, eww. I'd probably be arrested for hitting a kid, haha.
-
I honestly believe she could do anything so I do think she could be a nursing student and subsequent nurse. But when I was a full time nanny she said frequently she didn't think she could do it. She could though, she's amazing with kids. Me as a police officer, not so much. I am not a very commanding presence, I hate driving, and seeing awful things all day doesn't seem good for my mental health.
-
Eeek no! He has a very difficult/important job at a nuclear plant! Id probably accidentally blow the dang place up if i tried to do his job!
-
My H always says I could easily do his job, but I don't know how true that is. He's a database engineer and he says with good training anyone could learn how to do it. I think he's crazy and I wouldn't want to do his work anyway lol.
-
I used to work in the position that gets promoted to his job, so yes I could do it. DH doesn't really like the politics that I had in my last job, but he could have done it. I'm not sure he has the patience to be a SAHD though (my current job.)
-
He wouldn't be able to do my job, but I could probably do him although I would hate it and be miserable - he's in sales
-
Yes, we do the same thing.
-
No way at all. DH is a plumber. Nuff said. I do PR. Not really anything related between the two!
-
Yes, I would actually be over qualified for his job.
He actually had a job in accounting which is what my degree is in, but I've moved forward to another career path (project management/policy, etc)
-
No way.
-
Yup! I do on the weekends!
-
Hell no. He's a biomedical engineer and I don't even understand it when he talks about it.
-
I wish I was good at managing, sales, training like your husband! I can probably learn my husband's job, but I would probably hate it because it's so numbers based since he's in Finance. Numbers gives me headaches.
I do think he could do my job, and do it well! He's very detail oriented and likes lists, and he works well with others... so I could see him in project management.
-
No! It's a very analytical job, and I don't use that part of my brain well!
-
No no no. He's a law professor and loves being in front of people/public speaking. I would pee myself every day.
-
Nope. He's a wildlife biologist, and I can't do that.
-
Nope.
-
No way could I do his, I don't find it very interesting and the politics would likely push me over the edge. Plus he has amazing writing skills which I definitely lack. DH always says he would gradly trade his degree for mine, and I think he would be pretty good at it with the right training but maybe lacks the empathy required to be really good at it.
-
Absolutely! In fact I used to do his job. And he took over it when I went back to nursing school. That being said, I was miserable in that job, which is why I went back to school!
-
Nope! My husband is a professor and while the public speaking bit wouldn't be a problem, my lack of knowledge in his subject would be a bit of an issue!
-
Since we have the same job just working for different people, I'll go with, "Yep, we sure could."
-
Nope. He has a head for business/math/etc. and I do not. I like working with people.
-
Not a chance for a number of reasons, the biggest being its way too physical for me.
-
No way. He has such a crazy knowledge of his field, plus it's super physical.
-
He's a software engineer, and I'm in HR - so I'm gonna go with no, both ways!
-
Nope, I don't have the physical strength or the ability to be outside in the heat lol
-
I couldn't do his without going back to school, I don't think.
He could probably do mine but with a lot of training! Definitely not Day 1. -
I think I can, but I wouldnt want to. He supervises a lot of students and from what I hear it is not a fun job to do.
-
Nope, while we are in the same field and I understand his job- I would lose my license if I tried
-
heck no. he's an electrician..I never understand what he's talking about when he talks about work! he also works his tail off..sometimes up to 65 hours a week (hard labor). I definitely don't tell him as much as I should how much I appreciate it.
-
@redsmarties: hey hey! pastor's wives in the house!
-
@snowjewelz: haha. I am so not a stereotypical 'pastors wife'!
-
His real job, that we're furloughed from? Yes. I do the same job.
His temporary job to get us through the furlough? Hell no. He works at a concrete plant and it's horrible grunt work. He comes home exhausted, filthy, covered in chemicals... I would quit the first day.
-
@redsmarties: Me either! First of all, I look like a teenager lol
-
Yes but not as well as he does even though we have the same job function. He is very, very good at his job! He could definitely do mine since he is so talented.
