Re: Girls Marriage during Education
In all of South Florida, we have a handful of people who continued medical degrees and practice after marriage. I have continued to practice, and will practice after marriage, so that’s one. Then a friend of mine who is a radiologist. Her mom is raising the girl’s children though, and now runs around advocating to people that women shouldn’t go to medical school. Shockers. She went up to my mom and told her that she made a mistake sending me to grad school. Meanwhile daughter is a radiologist. Then we have another who is a radiologist, but her mom is white…so does she count? She has been innately born with more common sense and ability to live in 2015 as a modern woman than our paindoo ladies. So not sure if that example counts. Another guy’s wife is working on a as a nurse, but part time, but she’s puerto rican, so that doesn’t count. Then we have assorted housewives of middle ages who took to becoming teacher’s aides. That became a huge thing. But they’re home by 2 or 3 pm, which is why it’s such an appealing job. Not sure if that counts. I can say there are probably 20 or so women doing this job after marriage. Then there is one lady who is a doctor from Pakistan, she doesn’t practice here cuz she could never pass the steps. Pregnancy makes a woman’s IQ go down, she just couldn’t manage with kid after kid. Another girl also from Pak who got accepted to med school there, and married here, and her parents convinced her to give up the med school dreams to get married because you know, there is a green card and citizenship coming your way. Her MIL got her preggers with one baby after another after promises to allow her to do med school here. She warned me about this, and told me at the age of 19 when I met her that DO NOT GET MARRIED - do your med school first, otherwise them ****es will get you pregnant and then you won’t get to finish school. Then there are a few women doctors practicing in the area - I can count like 3 or 4 that I know of personally, and then there are about another 2 or 3 that I’ve heard about from others.
When I was in high school, over 10 years ago, there was an article in the paper stating there are an estimated 50,000 Pakistanis living in South Florida. Now, the number is easily 75K.
And that’s how many female docs we have and females working in real careers.
I’m not counting cashiers. That’s not a career.
