[quote=Anonymous]So is she not there *yet*, or is it more like she's never gonna get to a high place in her career, or she just doesn't want to?  Because that changes the answer, especially if she's a little younger. 33 and 36 are both mid-30s but those are clutch years for getting to the next level professionally.

There are plenty of women who want to work a lot and make money in their 20s and early 30s so that they can downshift when they have kids but maintain a high standard of living. And that is a very sensible and realistic plan IMO.

Your friend should take a long look in the mirror and say aloud "You're no great prize either, you know." He should then very seriously consider what it's like to be married to a woman with a high-level career and whether he is truly up for it. And what kind of parenting and family setting he wants for his kids if he does want kids. If he's not truly willing to do 50% (and with an ambitious wife, 50% will be a lot), then he should count his blessings, marry this woman, and be content.[/quote]
