A divorce lawyer has revealed the top five professions that a woman should avoid when looking for a husband - and many people on the internet are surprised by her revelations.

Katherine Leonard from Atlanta, Georgia, has been practicing law for more than a decade now.

Over the years, she said she noticed a trend in what the men that her clients were divorcing do for work, and she decided to use her expertise to warn other women.

According to Katherine, ladies who are on the hunt for a potential suitor shouldn't marry men who have jobs that make them feel like 'gods' - like a police officer, surgeon, or military personnel - because those guys 'tend to be more narcissistic.' 

She shared her advice to TikTok, and the video quickly went viral - gaining more than 1.5 million views in a matter of days and sparking a major debate between commenters.

'When I first started practicing law 13 years ago, a woman attorney gave me a statistic about the professions of men that women should avoid marrying,' the attorney began in the clip.

'I thought, that's a really random thing to think about [and I wondered] how would you even get that kind of statistic? But it stuck in my head.

'Over the course of my career, I've watched my most difficult cases and shockingly, many of them involve men in these professions.'

Katherine said she wanted to 'be really clear' that not all men in these professions are bad, stating that she is 'generally speaking' from things 'she's observed' over her years as a lawyer.
