DH and I have the same educational training, and I actually applied to his job when I was younger. I think I could be good at it if I had the same on the job training he was given when he started, but certainly couldn't just hop in and start cold. But yes, we have a lot of the same strengths that made me want to do his job.
Could he do my job? Probably, but I think he'd probably be bored.

He teaches 3rd grade and I'm a pre-k teacher. I could do it (I'm licensed pre-k through 6th grade), but I'd really prefer not to. The highest I'd like to go is 1st grade.

Theoretically probably, but we'd be terrible at each other's jobs! His job is database work at a desk, which requires a lot of sitting still, concentration and focus that I can't do. On the other hand, he could never handle the clients I work with (juvenile corrections) and would probably be fired the first day!

No, we'd both have to take some schooling in order to do each other's jobs and really, his just doesn't interest me

I could not do his job - he works in business development for a hospitalist organization (basically gets contracts with hospitals to employ their physicians)...there is too much specialized knowledge to do the presentations and I hate crunching numbers and hate negotiating contracts.

I was an attorney before becoming a SAHM and I always joke that DH should have been a lawyer - he has a killer memory, is so crazy analytical and can just understand/process huge amounts of information and explain it to others....and can convince nearly everyone that he's right. He deals with general counsel all the time and has to stay up to date on health care laws...and his understanding is way beyond my comprehension. If he could get around the licensing issue he could have definitely done my job

Parts of it, yes. It's very similar to a job we both used to work, so it wouldn't be out of my element. Other parts of it, though, I couldn't (he does a lot of out of the box brainstorming about ways to streamline the business, and is very good at it, something I'm not).

I don't know that he could do my job, though. He's great with people, but I have to be meticulous in everything I do, and he doesn't have the patience for that level of organization.

We have the same educational background so I'm going to say "probably" but there would definitely be a learning curve.

No, I have no idea what his job entails exactly.

I am actually training to do that right now.

Definitely not! He's a money market portfolio manager, I don't do numbers! I'm a social worker so we are opposites.
