[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh, i come from my own perspective that unless she has a satisfying job, i see nothing successful about a woman with babies who got married to a nice guy.  Because i'm not sure how any of that is an accomplishment.

Woman with nice husband, kids and good job? success!

Woman with no husband or kids, but good job, and she is happy with her life? Success!

Woman with nice husband and kids, who piddles around with zumba and the PTA?  I mean, she hasn't "achieved" anything, so i'd call that a neutral.

Woman with husband, kids and job or no job, who's not happy? Not a success.   [/quote]

How would you define a good job? It is all very subjective.

I consider a good job one where I can work 40 hours a week, make a positive impact and spend a lot of time with my family.

And I don't necessarily consider any husband who works so many hours that he barely spends time with his family a nice husband. Others might think that as long as the man makes a lot of money, it's a good job.

For me “good job” isn’t much of a barometer of success. I’m more interested in if the person is respected in their field and by their colleagues. [/quote]
