[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What people on this board never seem to understand is even if you only have Ivy degrees (which is apparently a prerequisite for sainthood), there are only so many high level jobs in corporations, law firms, and the government.  Only so many people who graduated from the exact same schools can be in those jobs.  Is it disappointing as crap when it doesn't happen?  Absolutely but there is a certain amount of luck and timing that goes with it.  I know people who would not have their jobs unless someone retired or got fired.  Sure, they had to be ready for it but the position also had to be open.[/quote]

+1 what is with all these angry DWs expecting c-suite jobs to fall out of trees.[/quote]

And expecting the husband to be the one to get the job if they have equal educational backgrounds and attainment. In which case why should it not be the wife, if it's to be anyone? I really enjoyed outearning my husband by 2 to 1 when he moved to the government and I stayed in Biglaw for a couple more years. Of course we never saw any of that money since it all went to loans, but still. :) Now we're both in government and I recently took a promotion that will eventually see us earn the same amount, but I'll still be $20k behind him for the next 6 or 7 years because he started a few years before I did. I secretly resent that a bit and wish I were earning just as much right now![/quote]
