[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I encourage my girls to pursue the arts. Life is too short to go to law school and then end up disillusioned after motherhood (and eventually no longer practicing anyway). [/quote]

My dad was a scientist and I took after him.  It pays very well.  There is always work.  I am in pathogenic microbiology and I live what I do.

I have a love for the arts which I pursue in my free time.  The arts would not pay a good salary and provide great health benefits.

24-years in a marriage later, I’m glad I have the options to walk away if needed.

My parents stressed for all of us to always have our own means to support ourselves.   It keeps you on equal footing.

I’ve seen way too many women stay with bad men or in unhappy situations because they do not have a career and are now middle-aged and out of the work force for 15+ years.  They also do not have their own retirement earnings.

I have sons, but if I had daughters they would find lucrative work in a field that they love. All of the women in my family extended and immediate have worked even though nobody had to.  It often is part-time, WAH or flex while kids are in the house, but everyone has flourishing careers with a strong voice outside of the home.

I would encourage team sports for girls too.  I played a competitive team sport for 20 years which gives incredible confidence.[/quote]
