[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know no women like this.

This. This isn't unheard of. These are typically women from UMC families who are smart, have always done well in school and they and their parents know how the game is played. They do well in high school and go to top/good colleges. Gone are the days where they are in it for the Mrs. degree and study something unmarketable like communications. They pursue tough majors, internships, grad school etc. The entire time the "unsaid" goal is to land a rich man/a man who is on the path to being rich so they can be the SAHM who vacations 4 times/yr and lives in a mansion. However, they have positioned them into careers where they can themselves make 100k+ -- just in case they can't lock it down with a man or they lock it down with a man who merely makes 100k or 150k and can't afford them the large life they want. But the "prize" here is if you never have to use that degree bc your man brings in 500k+ on his own. I can think of at least 10 women in my law school graduating class (top 5 law school - graduated within the last decade) who pursued this path. They either married money so there was no reason to grind away once there was a ring on it within 1-2 yrs of law school graduation OR they made the "hard" decision that both husband and wife couldn't pursue partnership and the husband loved it sooooo much that the wife would be the stay home and her full time job would be to support her husband in making partner.
