[quote=Anonymous]I blew through school K-JD and my wife took ~7 years off between before beginning a PhD. I actually think we probably should have swapped lives because as a professor we hit the worst of the worst times in terms of having kids and raising small kids. Oddly my career mellowed right around the time we began having kids (left biglaw to go in house). I am actually the primary parent and do the bulk of the heaving lifting but I think that's because I also spent 10 years working before slowing down my career. My wife doesn't have the luxury, sadly. I honestly think, for women, getting trained and getting into the market as soon as possible matters more because of biology. If you want kids in your early to mid 30's, you kind of need to be working and establishing yourself in your late 20's. Otherwise, you are going to be in the same pickle as my DW (who is admittedly handling everything incredibly well).[/quote]
