Sure..but your husband isn't high income..enough. Most couples fall in the middle and need dual incoms to live a "$700 K lifestyle". In that case, a woman's career matters. If your DH made 700K by himself this wouldn't matter.

Unless he or the family wanted to live a $950K lifestyle. It’s all about how people want to live. Even in DC there are people who make it work on $450k if that’s how they want to live.

Sure there’s lifestyle creep, but at a certain point if a family is comfortable priorities switch to other things rather than money. Private school is going to be a stretch still at $450k for two kids unless you want to cut back on other umc luxuries like travel.

Which still concludes that at the top 2% by income for the country, men care about women's careers.

Sorry you didn't marry rich enough.

There isn’t rich enough for me to give up my career, I love what I do. I would quickly give up a husband who didn’t support it, though.

What you don’t understand is at that high income level your husband supports whatever you want. You want to work, great. You want to do a hobby, great. You want to spend time with your children, great. But does he care what you do as long as you guys get along, no.

Funny because both the founder of Facebook and George Clooney both speak publically about how important their wives careers are. They’d be surprised to find out some random internet man considers that a mark of low-income.

Clooney in particular had a fairly wide selection of attractive partners before marrying a human rights lawyer…

DP oh okay. Clooney could careless about his wife’s career. He is just being nice. You really think George Clooney is checking his wife’s calendar when he wants to go to Cannes film festival or take off to the Seychelles for a month? No. She is now the “cofounder” of Clooney Foundation for Justice. How often do you think she shows up at the foundation?

In 2017 he sold his tequila company for 1 billion dollars. If Amal brought in 800k a year it would be a rounding error and she would have to work 80 hour weeks because she is a lawyer. No she does nit have a meaningful career other then George Clooney wife.

That’s so interesting…because in 2021 his case against the daily mail was all about his wife’s career. And the only woman he had children with was an Oxford educated human rights lawyer, who is still in practice.

But sure guy. You’re the real catch

Men care most about your career most when their earning potential is meh.

At this point, she is more of a billionaire socialite from what I see in on my newsfeed.

Guy here. I was lucky enough to marry a woman who was out of my league looks-wise and had a stellar career.

Honestly, I cared more about being attracted to someone (physical and personality) than their earning potential or career.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet's wives still working?

Still found time to have cases before the UN last year but cool, he “doesn’t care” about her career. That’s why he brags about it. That’s why he didn’t marry all of the actresses he dated.

Career doesn’t matter but education does.

The ideal woman attends a t10, majors in a humanities or social science, works for a few years in a self actualizing sector, then shift to part time.

Dutch women have this down to a science.

Check out how Dutch women approach work and life

LOL! No way a "man" wrote this.

I think real currency is important for middle middle class and below, social currency is important for upper middle and up. Looks are important to everyone but not enough to base the choice on it. It has more value for dating than marriage.

I don't think so, probably some philanthropy?

They don't have to work or proof anything to anyone. They are billionaires.

Did Bezos's wife work?

It’s similar to marrying someone from Harvard and then her scaling way back or becoming a SAHM. That’s a social status marker. Again, it doesn’t matter what the woman does after marriage. In the past the woman’s family was a marker of good social status, now it’s education and prior experience. What comes after is negligible. Amal Clooney is not working 100 hour weeks like every other law partner out there.

You know what really rich ladies do? Become philanthropists. All those ladies just mentioned are all philanthropists now. Which involves giving their money away. They aren’t working crazy jobs.
