[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm of the opinion that, barring disability, if you get a tertiary degree in a competitive field with limited admission - you should be required to work in that field for 5-7 years full-time. Otherwise you are taking the opportunity away from someone who WILL use the degree and for the better of society. (And no I don't care if you were scholarship or full pay)

Far too many 'Mrs' degrees and proud SAHM/Ds blogs who say 'Oh I have a law degree from Harvard teehee but all I do all day is knit and change diapers'.[/quote]

I'm of the opinion that in order to keep the primary childbearers and childraisers in fields where they might drop out, you either have to convince their spouses step up to bat or you make those fields more family friendly. Far too many men who don't care about how educated and competent and advanced in their career their wives are, they still see them as the ones to stay home when a child is ill or the one who should be deciding on dinner every night or the one who makes sure everyone gets to the dentist twice a year. And far too many bosses who think because an employee goes home by 6 in order to make dinner that means she isn't working as hard as the employee who stays until 8, even though the employee who goes home early gets on her computer to do several hours more work after the kids go to bed.
