[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't do this OP: I did because I wanted to have a family and children, so I thought going into education was the answer.

Fast forward 20 years: I was unable to have kids (we tried for years) and now I have a poor paying frustrating profession; retirement can't come soon enough.

If they are inclined towards health care or therapy of some sort, those careers may have more flexibility. The problem is that no one has a crystal ball and you have no idea who will be able.to have children.

Earning the most money possible would.have helped me deal with infertility more than a flexible career choice..[/quote]

This.
As a physician, I know fertility struggles are common enough that one should not pick a career based on this alone. Also, a person may not meet their partner til later in life. I just had a friend get married last year, first marriage, at the age of 43. She had been looking but just hadn’t met the right person til now. She is fortunate to have just had a baby. But she has been working for 22 years since college. I can’t imagine working for 20+ years at a job you don’t like with the hope of meeting a partner and having a baby. [/quote]
