[b]Do you actually know anyone in BigLaw who married a waitress[/b]?  I guess I agree with this in theory, but every high achieving man I know married a well-educated woman.  The only exceptions I can think of are people in my parents generation (55 and older), and people who met as teenagers and kind of mapped out their lives together where she supported him through law school/medical school with one of the above jobs and the intent that she would SAH when he finished.

You raise a good question.  Most of my partner's are married to women who have an education and had a career but almost all of them are SAHM's now.  My wife was a government attorney, now a SAHM.  There are a few who married the dental hygenist/teacher types.  I don't think any married the waitress.  Most married women they met in college.  Yet, I can say with near certainty that its not the job or career that men care about at all.  But they (we) do want a woman who can hold their own intellectually, whether that is a lawyer or a waitress, I wouldn't think would matter. [/quote]
