Re: Your scientist daughter
It depends. I know a Ph.D in optics, who got married and stayed home for 2 years after her child was born. Now she is working as a substitute teacher at my mom's work...so she basically spent her entire 20s on her education and now she is doing a job an associate degree person can do. An extreme story but I would tell the girl to go for the degree but ask her how she plans to fit marriage and kids into the picture. Maybe she can get married while doing her degree?
