Solved Question:
I build a job portal for students. There are two different kind of users: the students who are looking for a job and the employers offering jobs. As the students can write about their qualification the user accounts have a lot of fields.
My question is: is it useful to create two content profiles for the students: one for their personal data and one for the additional fields like qualification and experience? The reason to split it up would be the better usability for the student when editing his profile. With views I can combine the data from two content profiles. Are there some drawbacks why I shouldn't do that and instead place all data of a student in one content_profile?

You can split it up if you find this easier to represent.
Just remember to always add the second profile to the pages/panels
