In fact, I am pretty sure most people in most professions don't do that.
answer!!
When i rent out my spare room, i prefer to rent to poker players because when you room with someone that has a typical 9-5 office job, there tend to be gross schedule conflicts and bad feelings because they think (or some do) think you don't "really" work.
Ive also roomed with club promoters and other people with non traditionally scheduled employment and it works out pretty well, too.
So no, you didn't say "I want to room with someone who works in finance", but i imagine you were at least thinking that you wanted to live with someone in a similar financial situation to youself -- a person with a 9-5 white collar job.
birds of a feather.
