This. But if it were my daughter I would be privately disappointed after spending so much money on sending her to college and then to not work professionally. I could have saved that money in my retirement instead and retired earlier. I do believe that the world needs more women in the workforce, especially in leadership roles and science, to change the status quo for all women.  [/quote]

Life happens.  She could have gotten all that education and had an accident or other disability that forced her out of the workplace.  The education is formative and beneficial regardless of what you do with it in the years to come.

As for other women in the workforce - only if that’s what they choose to do.  It’s all about choices and freedom. [b]You don’t owe other women a career.[/b][/quote]

But we do. and that kind of thinking is why/how women keep holding other women back. it's the war of which SAHM has it better, WOHM stepping on other women to get ahead instead of helping others achieve.

You dont need a college education to stay home. Save your parents the money and do your part to marry well.

You sound like the people on the college forum who won't pay for their kids' school unless they declare a STEM major.  People are 17 and 18 years old when they choose a college.  You really think they all know what they are doing with their entire lives?

By the way, since you raised it, who do you think all the well-to-do men are marrying?  College educated women.[/quote]

Smart men want smart women to be their partners and raise their children. Most of us meet our husbands in college, graduate school and through post-college jobs. Education is never a waste and to claim it is for women is misogynist. [/quote]
