[quote=Anonymous]Founded in New York City in 1992 by Gloria Steinem as a project of the Ms. Foundation, "Take Our Daughters to Work Day" was created to help show girls that being smart was something to be proud of, not something to hide, and that their ideas could be heard and had value.

I was hardly an executive back then when Goldman, NY Stock Exchange, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan did Take your Daughter to work day originally.

Back in 1993 believe it or not. Wall Street was full of mainly low paid people. Also things were not outsourced like today. My Wall Street firm employed over 1,000 security guards, we had cafeteria workers, tons of Facilities people and Operations and Back Office activities employed tons of people.

All those back office people Daughters got to meet the executives of these firms and learn about Wall Street in High School at around 9th to 11th grade when deciding what major or career I want one day. Many a life was changed because of that day.

It became take your children to work day with    little boys and girls running around office learning nothing and then died. [/quote]
