Looking for love on dating apps?  Be warned, some careers might make it harder to find that special someone.  Think long shifts, unpredictable schedules, and maybe even a dash of sleep deprivation.  A recent survey revealed some jobs that are less than appealing to potential partners.  Could your career be a relationship deal-breaker?  Here's a closer look at some jobs that might make you single for longer:

* The Night Shift Blues:  Jobs that require rotating night shifts can be a major challenge for relationships. Imagine trying to connect with someone when your schedules are constantly out of sync.  What if you're working when they want to hang out?  What if they don't understand the demands of your job?
* Maintenance Mayhem:  Ever heard of a three-month turnaround in the oil industry? That's 13 days of work followed by one day off, 12-16 hours a day.  Talk about a recipe for relationship strain!  How can you build intimacy when you're barely seeing each other?
* The 24/7 Grind:  Some jobs, like those in 24-hour manufacturing, can feel like a never-ending cycle.  It's tough to find time for romance when you're always on the clock.  Don't forget to factor in travel time and potential fatigue. 

But here's the thing:  Are these jobs truly relationship-killers, or is it more about finding the right partner?

It's important to remember that every relationship is unique.  Some people are perfectly happy with partners who have unconventional schedules.  Others might find it too challenging.  The key is to be honest with yourself and your potential partner about your needs and expectations.
