lol. bless your heart. I think you actually just can't conceive of a world where [b]tenure at an R1 is more prestogious[/b] and desired than vacations at your in laws in Florida. [/quote]
NP. It might be more prestigious, but the money frankly is just not very good, and that fact sucks more than I thought it would. Prestige doesn't buy me a vacation in the Maldives.

Nobody gets tenure for the money obviously. And we're talking about the professors, not the spouses-of. And all of the R1/Ivy professors I know are constantly traveling to very cool places. I can believe of course that there are tradeoffs and drawbacks, but the topic here is whether being a 27 year old nonworking woman in the midwest married to a car dealer heir is the pinnacle of female dreams.

I thought we were talking about the spouses. This 27 year old is a spouse of a car dealer heir, no?

My point is that i used to place a higher premium on prestige. Now I would prefer a little more cash. Just being honest. [/quote]
DP, and that may be the case. Personally, I wouldn't like to be married to a tenured professor either. But you are responding to a person who was talking about wanting tenure for themselves, not their spouse. That person was saying that for [b]them[/b] it would be more prestigious than being married to someone rich.[/quote]

I see.

Well, in my view, marriage confers status to women despite the outrage that sentiment can cause. I personally don't even consider individually accomplished women as status competition in any way - we are like apples and oranges. I certainly do not envy them. [/quote]
