[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm of the opinion that, barring disability, if you get a tertiary degree in a competitive field with limited admission - you should be required to work in that field for 5-7 years full-time. Otherwise you are taking the opportunity away from someone who WILL use the degree and for the better of society. (And no I don't care if you were scholarship or full pay)

Far too many 'Mrs' degrees and proud SAHM/Ds blogs who say 'Oh I have a law degree from Harvard teehee but all I do all day is knit and change diapers'.[/quote]
What a sad view of education.[/quote]

Education is a privilege and one that means a lot to some people and nothing some others who do nothing with it.[/quote]

I do not agree with the MRS poster, but I do think it would be interesting to look at the number of women attorneys vs women engineers that leave the full time workforce within 5-10 years. Although the comparison is not really the same because a very high number of engineering jobs are available with only a bachelors, which is not the case for attorneys. [/quote]
