[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women do get hired into permanent positions. Small and mid sized companies are hesitant, but women are employed by these despite the long maternity leave. The difference is that poor women can stay home, whereas here that is a privilege afforded to the married and wealthy The other side of the story is that a man's salary often is not enough to support a family It is not a wonderland. The weather is awful. You cannot fix that. If being Swedish is your thing, then it is good. If you feel alien or foreign, it will not be your home and you will be miserable[/quote] Have you been to Sweden? Yes the winter is colder than DC but it’s also beautiful and the summers are spectacular. I have two friends from grad school who married Swedish men and who have relocated there. They said it’s a much better place to raise small children than the north east area of the US where they grew up.[/quote]
