[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, I think this interview sums it up nicely. Yes, some women (like one or two of the PPs) do manage to have flexible, yet well-paying jobs that are also careers, but in reality, the choice is career vs. family, and between 30 and 40 yo, the two are completely at odds. http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/07/why-pepsico-ceo-indra-k-nooyi-cant-have-it-all/373750/ [/quote] This is bullshit. The vast majority of parents, male or female, do not and never will have, kids or no kids, careers like the president of Pepsi. What we can do is make a good six figure salary while making the ball games and plays our children are in. I've done it for 15 years with zero extended family support, but a ton of support from my husband and, for five years, a full time nanny. You just have to accept that your career is as a director or VP, not as a senior VP. Small price to pay for being an involved and active parent.[/quote]
