[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's his choice. He can be a low attachment 2 career power couple with a nanny if they have kids, or I can go for a more traditional one career with mommy track. [/quote]

Not all high powered careers require parents to detach from family.  This us a myth, perpetuated by Hollywood.  There are plenty of attached high powered parents.  They just have to prioritize family.  Perhaps your spouse doesn't enjoy your family that much and submerged in work as a form if avoidance.[/quote]

Sorry, you can’t actually prioritize family working 65+ hrs/week. Only Biglaw dudes who show up for one little league game a week believe that is “prioritizing family.” [/quote]

Not all high powered careers require 65+ hours.  I earn top 1% and would be considered high powered to most and I work 40 hrs or less (sometimes).  It's about efficiency and setting boundaries and priorities.  Some people don't get that.[/quote]

Name the field. The vast majority in this category are Biglaw, PE or IB drones and work constantly. [/quote]

Management consulting, strategy and planning, accounting partners - these all earn 500k+, even more at Fortune 500s.  Then you have real estate developers, small business owners etc, who also have high earning potential.  Not everyone who is high powered opts to be a cog in the Big Law wheel.[/quote]
