[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother's parents paid for her brother to go to college but not for her, because they thought it was a waste on a girl. Her brother never used the degree or held a normal job, but my mother worked as a dentist for decades. [/quote] Wow, same here! My mom was born in 1946. Not sure if yours is the same age. My mom paid her way through college, got a masters in social work, did that for a few years and found it too emotionally draining, went back and got a masters in accounting, started her own company, and had a wonderful career. Her brother did end up as a successful electrical engineer, so the money wasn't wasted on him, but I thought it was shocking that her parents didn't think she needed to be educated. [/quote]
