So you have selection type model (something like -heckman-, but not
quite) for some observations, the observations are nested in the sense
that someones second job is likely to be correlated with the first
job, and the dependent variable is a rather crude categorization. I
don't think there is an easy solution for your problem. I suspect
you'll have to derive your own model and program it into Stata.
