I have no objection if any lady choose to stay at home than to be a career woman.. But I support any statement showed that you should not wait until 'the ring' comes to you especially right after graduation. As a recruitment consultant, interviewed man and ladies, millionaires or non millionaires' daughter/son, go through lots of resume. I did meet with few higher ranking ladies who at last put a stop in their career to raise up their children. Eventhough generally what a waste for ladies with such knowledge to stay at home but hey they've been there, done that..Now they choose what they want to be. At least, that can give some inspiration to their generation. I dont want my children in the future to stay at home after graduation, even though I can afford to have them at home. Experience is the knowledge that you can only get if you've been practising it not only by watching it.. |
I used to work with a woman who was very intelligent but she couldn't stand to be at work. She married a top manager in another department and as soon as she could, she quit work and became a housewife. Every time she came back to visit us, I got the impression that what she really wanted to do was play house. The husband and children were incidental. Personally I was glad when she left because she was a horrible and bitchy co-worker. People need to go somewhere where their strengths are needed and some women have much stronger nesting instincts than others. I couldn't count for you the number of women here who have law degrees and have never used them - in fact the number of women here who have law degrees and got married and never went to work.
I think it is admirable to think that most women today want to make their own way on their own and I'm sure that's what the media tells us that's what we want but I'm not sure that most women today want that. There are still a lot of women who are quitting the fast track at work and opting for the mommy track. If they had a good degree and a high profile job before then they are called a consultant and they get thrown a little money but their main job is being mommy.
Now you are seeing more guys staying home for the daddy track but its not nearly so common as the mommy track.
