[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most men I know probably would not date a woman who had not at least graduated from college. They want someone who could hold up their end of a conversation. Additionally, in this area,a second professional income means a nicer lifestyle. They want their wives to be accomplished, just slightly less so than themselves.

Also, most people I know have graduate degrees, and expect their children to at least become college graduates. They would assume that a woman without s college degree would either not encourage their kids to do well in school, would not be able to help with homework or would not expose the kids to museums, music etc. They would probably also worry that their kids with such a woman would not be academic.[/quote]

A lot of assumptions,  here.
I am a nanny as a second career. I spent most of my working life as a chef. My child grew up seeing the value of a mother who wasn't afraid to work hard, probably harder than most of you.  She learned early on to cook, and taught all of her freshman roommates in college cooking skills. We are artists and musicians in our house. There are hundreds of books, stacked everywhere. I teach all of my nanny children arts, science and reading. The book collection in my home is better than most homes I've worked in. College is important and stressed to my daughter,  who is working to be a veterinarian.

Your assumptions about we poor stupid nannies are way off base. [/quote]
