[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of paying to freeze eggs companies should be supportive of families and encourage women that it is ok to have children in their 20's and early 30's. Companies should have internships specifically designed for women (or dads) who are returning to work and need to bridge the gap between their education, work experience and time off. [/quote]

This.  It's sad that we're creating a society in which women (for the most part) have to decide whether to spend their 20s/early 30s focusing on their careers or starting a family.  If dual income households are going to be the norm from here on out, then employers need to be more family-friendly and/or accepting of people with gaps in their careers.  And this doesn't just apply to having kids.  I think child free workers should also have more flexibility to help care for aging family members or whoever else they need/want to spend time with.

What is the point to life if all you do is work yourself to the top for the sake of making a bunch of money or being successful, but then you don't have much time left over for the people and hobbies you care about.  There is no job in the world that could fulfill me as much as my family.[/quote]
