Should I study/work in different fields to meet people I’m more compatible with?

You need to add punctuation to this.

I wouldn't typically advise someone choose a different field just to meet men. However, you've also mentioned struggling socially in general. I, myself, chose very liberal professional fields, thinking they'd remain as steadfastly non-partisan as they claimed at the time. After 10-15 years, however, that proved not to be the case. I found I worked with few people who shared my worldviews. Because they had the "correct" views for the field, I had to hear about it all the time, but couldn't really share my views. This worsened as the political climate became more polarized.

As time went on, I grew increasingly frustrated with my field, particularly because it was once understood that these subjects weren't appropriate for our tax payer funded workplace. It was somewhat isolating toward the end, when I finally left to raise my children. When I do return to work, I plan to go into the same area, but in a religious setting, so I'll align with others more and feel less pressure to push agendas with which I fundamentally disagree.

While I wouldn't advise choosing a field to meet men, I would suggest considering the longterm reality of working in a culture where you feel you'll never fit in. This would only apply if it's par for course. For example, cosmetology when you consider yourself an introvert, sales when you're honest to a fault, or construction when you're particularly sensitive to stereotypical male humor. You can marry a man in a different field, with whom you agree on everything important, but being miserable at work will still impact your life in a big way. For instance I once burst into tears while debating with my more conservative husband (something we both enjoy), because at work I was a heartless capitalist and at home a bleeding heart liberal. I wouldn't have even claimed to be especially conservative and it was still exhausting.

Full text: So I’m thinking of taking a different direction in life because I found that the courses I did & jobs I worked while I enjoyed & was good at those things I struggled socially and romantically like I found I didn’t fit into the social groups of those doing the same things as me, & I also didn’t want to date those kinds of people either whereas my last partner who things were really good with for a while was in a drastically different field to me so it’s got me thinking maybe I should study & or work in different fields now so that I can make friends I actually have stuff in common with & also meet more compatible people to date, would love any insight! Thank you
