[quote=Anonymous]This sounds like lots of people. Unfortunately, even an elite education can't take the place of parents with money and influence. I made all the wrong career decisions (not even sure that different decisions would have made a difference) because I didn't have anyone to help me and had nowhere to turn for advice (it was pre-internet). I had no idea what careers and salaries were out there, how to go about choosing what to study, and didn't even have enough money after graduation to pay for the industry magazine that used to list all the job openings. Fortunately, I married a guy from a rich family (rich from my perspective anyway), so I'm doing OK today in spite of never really making any money of my own. But of course, since my career didn't pay as much as my husband's, I ended up mommy-tracked, and now not only don't work in my field, but do a job that doesn't even require a high school diploma. I'm not complaining about it, but I know I'm not a lone, and it's a screwed up system.[/quote]
