No shit! I worked FT until I was 31 and never broke $50K. Now I work PT during my daughter's school hours and am paid hourly and make about the same. I have an undergrad degree from a well respected national university and a Master's degree in my field. What an effing waste of time and money. I never seemed to be at the right place at the right time career-wise. My husband just broke 6 figures at 34 with a degree in engineering and a security clearance. To be fair, he only finished his degree a couple years ago because he joined the military right out of high school and got his degree part time while working. Money isn't everything, but HOLY GEEZ! |
| The best partners at some of law firm partners earn $1.25M and up ++ /a year. This almost certainly requires doing very well in three years of law school, perhaps a judicial clerkship or some time as a government appointee, and from 7-10 years of serious time, hard work, hustle, and discipline as an associate/of counsel before you make partner. In other words, you will be in your late 30s or early 40s before you make that much money -- assuming everything falls into place just so. |
If your husband has business obligations then he is not a stay at home dad. He is either a work at home dad, or a dad with business obligations and a flexible schedule. I can't fault a man for being placed in a situation where he has to work and then be a fulltime care provider. Women have made it so hard for men. However, if a man identifies as a stay at home dad, then he should grow a pair. It is reprehensible. Fulltime parenting is an acceptable job for a woman and it is respectable because daycares should only be used by single parents and orphaned children. However, I will never respect a man without business obligations unless he is disabled, looking for employment, or retired. |
| You clearly dont respect women either. Housework/parenting is beneath men, based on your answer. How sad for you. |

Deal with your issues and then come back to play. The first is the large chip on your shoulder, the second is your poor reading skills, and the third issue is called a logical fallacy. You probably commit too many to be taken seriously. |

- $124K a year - Program Manager - 2 bachelors and an MBA - made career change to program management after 6 years in federal contract management - Combination of working really hard, long hours when those my age weren't (think early 20s), impressing the right people, and luck |
Actually, no it's not. If it were, all parents who have paid employment would have two jobs. |
