while i think it would be pretty much everybody's dream not to have to work because you're wealthy, i think everyone should do it for at least a little while. doing charity work is wonderful and fulfulling but going out and earning the money to buy the things that you want is what really gives you the appreciation for what other people, less fortunate have no choice but to do everyday. also, i have to agree with the point that catherine's parents are hoping for her to score big marriage-wise. look at generations of wealthy parents who planned and worked behind the scenes to ensure that their daughters married up. as for the upper class girls choosing not to be employed, i think it's a very small circle. the children of most extremely wealthy families go into the family business - look at the Trump's and the Westons...even the (choke) Hilton girl's have business endeavors of their own.
