Life coaches have to give their clients the illusion that they’re always available to them. That means they can call them about questions regarding dates, wardrobe, diet choices, job interviews—you name it. And that’s at all hours.

Musicians
Musicians come with three problems: Groupies, groupies and more groupies. If that’s not enough, they sometimes tour for months at a time.

Pediatricians
Kids are constantly picking up germs, which means that your partner could bring them home, leaving you both sick.

Stock market
Somebody who works in the stock market has to get up super early to keep up with the market, which means late dinners are out of the question. Or dinners at a reasonable hour in general.
