[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the women vs men jobs poster. Actually, I make 50% more than DH, and I have a STEM grad degree. He has an English major BA. also, I do most of the personal finance in our house.

My post is not “privileged”, women of every class should be looking for the most lucrative career path, and everyone should learn personal finance. What’s wrong with that?[/quote]

Wrong. I am a Fed, and could be making 2-3x as much $$ in the private sector.

Instead, I have flexibility, job security,  a better retirement scheme, and I am proud to help further my agency’s noble mission.

On top of all of that, I get to live near DC and work downtown. The cultural options in this area (Kennedy Center, Smithsonians, Capitol Steps) cannot be found elsewhere in this country.

Money is like oil - an unfortunate necessity. But there is so much more to life than the almighty dollar, and encouraging women to chase money at the expense of career fulfillment is poor advice.
