To find one that was marketable?
I only have two degrees, undergrad and MBA. I'm also 38, female, single, never married, never wanted to be married, and quite content with my life. And I don't need to lectured by this woman on the mistakes she thinks she made. That's fine for her, it's not the same for everyone else.
So which cat is your favorite?

If you throw rocks into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps is the one that’s been hit.
I got married at 38. Been VERY happily divorced for 20 years now...
I have three degrees. Got the first two, BS and Masters. Then I quit work once I gave birth to my son. I got my third to get back into the job market once he was in high school.
I would not trade that time raising our son, home room mom, den Mom, Little League, etc for all the money or materialistic crap in the world. I can’t imagine the regrets this person must feel. She is warning others that there is no replacement for a family, children and a loving, wonderful husband.
It doesn’t just happen. It takes hard work, respect, compromise and Faith, none of which is in abundance at a youthful age when femnazis are brainwashing everyone.
I have found that my worst coworkers tend to be older women with no husbands and no children. They are just bitter and unhappy. Their feminism is a poor comfort at night.
She's 50 now, she probably said the same thing you just said when she was 38. Just saying...
I'm happy that you're content with your life. I really mean that.
When I was 38, I was a lonely person with few prospects for the sort of golden years I'd envisioned for myself. I'd always pictured myself as having a large and loving family in my later years, and could see that the clock was quickly running out for me to make that dream come true.
Long story short, I rectified that situation in the next two years. Today, I'm the proud father of six kids, and have five grandkids. I can't tell you how satisfying and worthwhile it's been to make that happen.
I know it may not be your hope, but it's my hope for you, that you will find a way to create something similar for yourself.
Peace
I’m with you. I’m the single one at 53 and all my married friends and family members complain to me constantly about the men in their lives. Some of the women she envies may be quietly envying her in return, for being free.
Kids are not all they are cracked up to be either.
I found it interesting that every single family that was religious and had children, divorced by the time the last kid was out except for the ones that had one needy dramatic spouse and one who catered to that spouse. Families of 6 to ten children... families where the last kids leave when the parents are in their sixties... all divorced.
