This is interesting.  Should women simply have children on their own and raise them themselves?  [/quote]

Um, why not just have kids with a man who is "less successful" professionally?

But the short answer is no. Kids raised by single moms do not do well at all.[/quote]

Why would you want your children to have a father who is less successful?[/quote]

Because "less successful professionally" does not mean he is not kind, intelligent, or a good father.

Exactly.  I have a son who would love to become a teacher. My husband and I are torn about this.  Of course we want him to pursue his dream and be happy but god forbid the women he meets don't think that he's worthy of being their husband. It's sad.  They'd rather he sells his soul to the almighty dollar and bitch about how he's unhappy and resentful instead of joining with him to create a wonderful life together, doing what they love.  I have nothing against women choosing to wait until they have careers of their dreams before choosing a spouse and/or children.  I was lucky that, as a lawyer, I found a worthy and wonderful partner at the age of 27.  But I wasn't looking at his paycheck when I chose him.  [/quote]

I know quite a few female lawyers married to male teachers.  I think they met in college or early career so don't know if that makes a difference.  I think the difference with teachers is it is a livable wage in Montgomery County with good benefits, often they have Masters degree, in theory they are good with kids and can have hours that can be conducive to balancing children and careers,  some but not all also coach youth sports too.  I think the challenge is financially it would take two salaries in this area unless you are going to have an insane commute, so both he and his future spouse would need to be okay with that.[/quote]
