 * We are creating a field for Occupations using the Drop Down Select Box. Currently
   there seems to be a limit on the amount of options we can add for this field 
   type. How do we increase the options of this field type?

 * Hi,
 * I didn’t know there was a limit… maybe you should use the custom post type selector.
   You must create your occupations as a custom post type and then use this field.
