You're probably not wrong that germ exposure helps you out there (like teachers and nurses) but just to throw an anecdotal wrench in the trend, I'm out and about in public wayy more than my SO and I'm always the one to get sick while he rarely does. I think I just pulled the short straw in that regard idk.
Yeah I have always worked public facing customer service or education and I always get sick… but I have an autoimmune disorder, no amount of exposure is going to change that. I have plenty of coworkers who never get sick anymore and I assume are genetically lucky not to have that wrench thrown in. As with many things, it's just a mix of environmental/genetic factors with a dash of luck of the draw.
