[quote=Anonymous][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]
What a sad view of education.[/quote]

I don't think you should disparage women who stay home and "change diapers". When women outsource this a nanny they are condemned and when they decide to stay home and look after their child they are condemned. Women cannot win. We have to consider the health of society as a whole and if all women abandoned their roles as mothers I think society would see a change for the worse. Women's careers often move in "season" according to the stages of their children and society needs to be more open to this. Sometimes women can work and sometimes they may decide it is better for their family to stay home. It does not have to be black and white and no women should be maligned for either decision.[/quote]
