[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make sure your daughters excel in Math. This opens doors for them in high paying STEM careers.

You can't make sure a person *excels* in math or any other subject. Either their brain is wired for that, or it's not. Also, high-paying is not everything in life. Going for something that makes you happy is much more important, IMO.[/quote]

Math can be learned by anyone as long as it is taught well. Women tend to shy away from Math and that is a big detriment to their future earning.  A high paying job is more essential for a female than a male. Mainly because of the fact that they give birth and usually take care of the kids.

Sons are given tangible goals by parents -" become good in xyz sports; get into xyz college; become a lawyer, doctor, engineer, hedgefund manager".  Daughters are given intangible goals like "be happy".  Well, it is harder to get to intangible goals.  So, make them financially independent and capable of becoming the breadwinner of their household.   The rest will hopefully follow.[/quote]
