Almost ALL of my closest girlfriends are teachers. It's not just friends I've made at work (which would make sense), but almost all of my best friends from high school are also teachers. At high school graduation I don't think any of us planned on teaching, but we all ended up there one way or another.
Do you and your friends share the same occupation?

Nope. Just the friends that I made in grad school.
Well..... my job now is SAHM and I do have a couple of friends who are a SAHM

I am a teacher, some of my colleagues have become friends, some other friends have become teachers but I wouldn't say it was a significant amount - my close friends have a fairly diverse range of occupations.

Yup. And most of our friends work at the same company as us too, even though we didn't meet as coworkers. I actually would love meeting people who don't do what we do because I like learning about what their jobs are like.

yes but we went to a university that specialized in our career, so it wasn't a very diverse school

Not at all! I dont think a single one of us share a profession or even the same industry! I have made friends in my industry as well, but I think that's different.

Yep, mostly. My best friend is a teacher, heck even my mom and her mom worked in the school system.
Actually now that I think of it, every girl in my bridal party worked in the school system in some capacity! Weird!

Oh god no. That being said, most of our good friends worked within the industry, but different aspects (ie: marketing, education, etc).

I have a few friends that are aid workers. I have a couple Peace Corps friends, and several from my own organization.
But my three closest friends are a rock climbing instructor, an architect, and a dental assistant.

I'm a nurse, and most of my friends are nurses. I met them through work though. Out of my high school friends, only one is a nurse. We're a diverse bunch - a travel agent, 2 nurses, a police officer and a teacher.

My girlfriends from college aren't all in the same field. We have one surgeon, a social worker, one in media buying, another in PR, one in nonprofit fundraising, one that manages alumni relations for a university, a speech pathologist, and I'm a computer auditor. Pretty diverse group!
