[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd focus more on your daughtes' finding themselves and then supportive partners who will be as invested in their careers as they are and letting them explore what they want to do. If there is a will, there's a way and there is no way to know in high school how various things in your life will play out. If they want to be a SAH mom at 30 and have married someone they love and he/she doesn't make enough for them to do it, than that is a family decision they will have to tackle together. No advice you could give now will have any bearing on that.

My group of friends in high school are now four MDs, one lawyer and one recovering journalist turned PR professional. One of the doctors has a stay at home husband; another one has two older kids in college and a set of twins who are in second grade from a second marriage; another doctor is divorced but has her parents nearby who provide childcare support and occasionally financial support. The lawyer moved for her husband's job to Europe and does contract work. I'm the PR woman and in an unexpected twist make more than two of the doctors. None of this has any bearing on where we thought we would be as high school and college students but all (but one) have found stable lives, homes, partners, children - basically lives of abundance but not necessarily always on the money side.

I work in PR and am curious how you make more than the 2 doctors... tips? [/quote]
