3. Automotive Service Technicians and Mechanics: Approximately 17% Divorce Rate

The professions of automotive service techs and mechanics rank as the third likeliest to lead to divorce. People in these professions have one of the highest rates of injury and illness, come home greasy and tired often, and are not likely to be in the mood for a heavy dose of family time.

The median annual wage is about $38,470 — and workers tend to work evenings and weekends. Some might say the trade-off is not worth it, considering the divorce rate is roughly 17 percent.
