[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I don’t see it as the actual salary per se, but more from an educational and motivational standard.

You can tell early on which women never plan to work outside if the house and for me that is a fundamental mismatch.  This is much different than a woman that has a stimulating job/profession and we jointly decide for one of us to reduce hours or step out of the work force temporarily.

If a woman had a fluff degree and can’t handle her own bills or be on her own before marriage—that’s a red flag for me.  I want to raise competent, motivated intelligent children...especially daughters that are t taught “the man is the plan”.  Plans can go horribly wrong.[/quote]

This is what DH says. He is in biglaw, I am a STEM PhD. He has always said he is attracted to my ambition and intellectual drive but doesn't care about my salary, although it has been helpful. If I wanted to stay home to go to mid-day spin class, that would not be acceptable, but if I wanted to take a pay cut for something meaningful or a new experience, he would be supportive.[/quote]
