No doubt that high earning women are in high demand but significant percentage of high earning women end up in unhappy relationships and divorces ... but so can no or low earning women.

In today's economy double income household is a necessity to survive, one higher income a necessity to be comfortable and two high incomes a necessity to do well.

Depends on what is high income. If you both earn 200k yes you need two people working to have a comfortable umc life. Once one person hits 500k the other person working a stressful job becomes a detractor to the family lifestyle. You don’t need two people making 1 million.

They earn great money for a well-respected part time job and then since they keep practicing can renter FT later. I don’t see a problem here.

It's the elephant in the room, but more women are in medicine taking residency spots and then choosing not to practice full time. The number of residency spots are finite and increasing med school class size does not address the fact that residency spots are limited. I don't blame these women including friends I have for choosing self-preservation in an increasingly grueling field.

The limited number of residency spots is a policy choice by the medical industry and the government (which allows the medical industry to engage in this clearly anticompetitive scheme). The idea that we'd blame anyone who goes part time for taking a residency spot is laying the blame on the wrong party. If you hate the limited residency system, complain to your Congressman (who probably gets a boatload of money from the AMA and the American Hospital Association).

It’s not the industry actually the number of residency spots is determined by Medicare funding for residency spots to the hospital. Medicine controls the number of doctors being produced by controlling the number and quality of medical schools and making it extremely difficult to get admitted. There is no bottom limit to the number of crappy lawyers this country can produce, because there is no bottom for law schools; anyone can attend SOME law school. Not so for doctors. It’s much harder to get into any med school than it is to get into even a good law school.

Exactly, which is why it's kind of misleading to promote this as an ideal career, when it's extremely competitive to get into.

Every prestigious high paying job is competitive. Most people don’t waltz into hedge fund or big law jobs. But if you are a smart talented ambitious young woman who may want to also make time for your family some day, it behooves you to consider which competitive prestigious job may allow you to eventually do that.

And in addition to above, fulfill your ambitions and aim for the stars because you want to and it is fulfilling, not because you think it makes you attractive to men. Because it doesn’t, a woman is attractive to a man in-spite of her career, not because.

True but when I was in my late 20s dating I had no idea if I would be that successful and neither did my spouse.

No no. Not what you put on your dating profile. The real one.

Spouse and before god. Marriage isn’t about incomes and CYA if you end up divorced. Marriage it’s supposed to be a lifelong commitment. As such, both partners need to compromise and trust. I don’t hear any of that in this thread.

I even waited until the wedding night for sex with my spouse. Thought I married a religious man of my own religion. No divorces in our family. Did the whole precana thing in detail. Turned out he was a con and so was his dad. Both bisexual gay men who had sex with other men all over the place. Just like the priests. Also conned money because as you say "money isn't important". So then they justify that they can just take this stuff from you. You know things that you don't really care about. Money. Sex. It doesn't really matter right? Found out another friend is also in this scenario as we speak with another "highly religious" guy who has even made it into religious papers dating her while also sleeping with a slew of men. Being religious does not guarantee you a lifelong commitment. Just show up to any religious divorcecare group to find this out.

There are always exceptions. I'm sorry you got conned but I promise not all men are like that. I know many good men of religious backgrounds.

But the bigger point is that most on this thread don't seem to be into the bigger picture of marriage. Marrying anyonejust because of their income seems superficial to me, sorry.

This is not an only. Just another added criteria. Also I do not find a lot of religious men of moderation anymore. Most are not religious and if they are most are either closeted gay men or political nuts or both. Religion is not attracting the balanced minded these days.

Wow it looks like you are the one with some mental health issues. I know PLENTY of moderate balanced men of faith.

Not really. You can make other choices. You can opt out of that mentality.
