Wow suggesting that a girl should have a career or her own business makes me Hillary. How rich considering that I am someone who believes that women SHOULD stay home with their children once they have them. In the meantime, they can get an education that will help bring in money in the form of a homebased business run by the family. Not every girl wants to or should stay home to take care of a husband when they have no children. That’s a ridiculous waste of time. Personally, I’m working socking away money so when I do get pregnant I don’t have to go back to work EVER. That is something you will never hear from Hillary my friend.
These were the key words that caught my attention. Hillary's idea is that the womans place is in the work place. Her idea is that as soon as the woman is able, she drops off her child at daycare that the gubmint would graciously provide, so that she could not only provide income for her family, but (more importantly) also be benefit to society. Hillary's ideas are that housewives and mothers aren't a benefit to society, that their skills are wasted staying at home, and not benefiting the greater good.
Careers are fine for SOME women, but some women desire to be nothing more than mothers and housewives. And when I say nothing more, its in the sense that that is all they desire for a career, not that being a mother and a housewife is demeaning or lowly. There are some women who look at motherhood and housewives as an aspiration, something to do with excellence, something beyond themselves.
Not every person is cut out for college. Some people are quite successful without it. Though I believe education is important, I think that college itself might be over rated. A person gets a 4 year degree, for their chosen field and doesn't use half of their education.
Our advanced education industry is just that, an industry. Heavily marketed to everyone almost from birth. And yet the cost increases far exceed normal costs of living increases.
Why do people today spend 40, 60, or 80 thousand dollars for a piece of paper that supposedly tells people you're qualified for a job making 40 or 50 thousand dollars a year? We have people going deeply in debt so when they finally do get into the working world they're already behind the eight ball.
I've heard the statistic, I believe its half the people with college educations end up either not using their education for their chosen field, or leaving their chosen field in which they were educated, for something else.
Now I realize that there can be some overlap of education into other fields, but if so many are leaving or not even entering the fields they were educated for, wouldn't that be a waste of education? And what does that really say about the need for advanced education for some careers, when a person can leave one field that they were supposedly educated for, and begin another field that they supposedly weren't educated for?
Don't get me wrong on education, I think its important. But I think we've been sold a bill of goods on needing "X degree" when a number of classes would be better.
So to summarize my long posting, I don't feel EVERY woman needs an advanced education or a career. Some aren't suited for it, and some desire a different path. And thats what makes this nation great, people can choose the path they want to go down in life and not have to explain or justify their actions to others. But if Hillary has her way, that will all change. She would have it that EVERY woman would be out in the working world
Oh lastly, as I reread your reply to my posting, before I sent this back, I noticed the part about a woman owning her own business. I don't know what your belief system is, and that is your business, but me, I am a Christian who tries to live by the Bible, and in the book of Proverbs, chapter 31 it gives an outline of a godly woman, and part of what she does is basically run a business. So I do agree that woman can run their own businesses.
