considering now that you need almost 10 years of education to pursue the major professions, which means in the US atleast either a lot of money spent, or a lot of debt incurred!
should women pursue higher education?
should they pursue being architects, marine biologists, chemical scientists, doctors of finance etc?
would a pursuit of such higher education force them to work to earn back what they spent in getting this education, or paying back thier debts? and if they are working can they be better mothers?
but if women should not pursue such higher education, what is a good level of education for a women?
Then don’t we need women to pursue higher education so that we can have a balanced society. Where women are able to access education as much as men?
opine away? and if you dont have an opinion, find a friend who does…and then post?:halo:
I earned a BS degree in comp sci. It led me to wall street where I worked on trading floor technology for a number of years - until I met and married my hubby and started planning our family.
It was "only" 4 years of higher education and it paid off very very nicely. I was earning a very good income when I "retired". And although I'd have a very tough time earning that much again, one thing I DO know is that I'd be able to earn enough to at least support my kids if something, God forbid, should happen to my hubby. Or if I decide to work a bit once all 3 are in skool full time, we'll have enough extra for some luxuries that we cannot now afford. My education has more than paid itself off already and I'm probably not done yet.
Was it worth the expense? Absolutely, for sure. The peace of mind it brings to both my hubby and myself, the knowledge that our boys can be taken care of financially, thats something that no amount of money can ever buy. If my hubby got run over by a bus tomorrow, I cant begin to imagine the added horror of not being able to support my family. What do you do THEN? Frantically search for the first "available" guy that will marry you and take care of your kids? No way for me!
An added bonus is that I completely understand what my husband does, what his days are like, what he's working on, how he feels when he's called in on weekends or to work an 80 hour week. That brings alot of bounty to a relationship for sure.
There is absolutely no negative side to this issue that I can see. Perhaps going for doctorate degrees, law school etc may be pushing the envelope - but thats only if its in your plans to reture when you have kids pretty much.
women must always obtain education for their own selves as they have a selfhood beyond being a home maker, and care taker.
studies and work cannot be denied to women as individuals or else they will naturally not do anything right.
there are people who will advocate for equal and fair opportunities, in fact , collaborations in advancing and investing higher educational endeavors and life- long learning for women.
and those are the people who make a huge difference in the society, unfortunately many elements have a tunnel vision of self-serving enslavement of women and actually that fear of women is the issue and problem of those elements, sadly.
education of women is a reality and will remain so.
hope is that understanding and logical people will realize at some bitter point in their lives, that what they rebuke in the education of women,’ will be', ' is' and 'was' actually better for their own selves.
why waste one's time talking sense to those who wont listen?
clarity of the social and personal aims has to guide the coexistence and not the uneducated -ness of these elements - they will and do have their teaching moments in life, so let it be.
educated lot cannot be wasting its time over the recklessness of self- deception of their selves as people, whose divisive minds can only work and proclaim immature attitude against education of women, again out of fear of self reliant and self aware women.
