There are many reasons why a person with a certain job might be considered appealing. If you're with them, it can provide financial security, prestige, or access to expensive services for the future in-laws. Some people may be into positions of power. Character traits that are seen as implicit for certain jobs, like being intelligent or caring, might be seen as attractive, while the artistry or athleticism implicit for specific jobs may also be a turn-on for some. Other people might just be into it for reasons as shallow as "uniforms are hot". See [[Analysis/InherentlyAttractiveProfession the Analysis page]] for more information.

** "Stan's Return" does the MyBelovedSmother variation. Dorothy's daughter Kate has been seriously dating a man named Dennis, and when Blanche learns that he's a doctor, she remarks "To ''hell'' with his background!," while Sophia is eager to know how much money he makes. Dorothy tries to claim she doesn't care about the job, but proves NotSoAboveItAll when she says "If they happen to get married, I will shout from every rooftop in Miami: 'MY SON-IN-LAW'S A DOCTOR!'" Humorously, when Dennis reveals that he's specifically a podiatrist, Dorothy keeps using "doctor" because it sounds more impressive.
