So roughly 1 in 6 actuaries marriages ended in divorce. That would mean at least 6 actuaries got married. I’m impressed! ---

> “Rolling Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders” are workers who set up, operate, or tend machines that shape metal or plastic materials by rolling them into specific shapes, thicknesses, or forms. These machines apply pressure to flatten, bend, or form materials, often used in manufacturing processes like producing metal sheets, bars, or structural components. > > Typical tasks might include: > • Setting up the rolling machine based on job specifications. > • Adjusting machine settings to control the pressure, temperature, or speed. > • Feeding materials into the machine. > • Monitoring the process to ensure quality and consistency. > • Performing minor maintenance on the equipment. > • Measuring finished products to check if they meet standards. > > These jobs are commonly found in industries like metalworking, automotive, construction materials, and manufacturing of large-scale products. The work is often hands-on, physical, and takes place in factory or plant environments. > [@](#): > > Jobs like Rolling Machine Setters, Operators, and Tenders have shown up in reports with higher-than-average divorce rates. The reasons aren’t always clear-cut, but there are some common factors that could contribute: > • Long or irregular hours: Many industrial jobs involve shift work, overtime, or night shifts, which can strain relationships. > • Physically demanding work: Fatigue and stress from manual labor can spill over into home life. > • Lower median pay: Financial stress is a well-known factor in relationship strain. > • High-stress environments: Manufacturing jobs can be repetitive, high-pressure, or hazardous, adding mental stress. > • Limited work-life balance: Some factory jobs make it hard to take time off or spend regular quality time with family. > > It’s worth noting that jobs with physically demanding, high-stress, and lower-wage conditions often correlate with higher divorce rates, but that doesn’t mean the job itself causes divorce—it’s more about the pressures that come with the work. 🤷‍♂️ ---
