Re: Your scientist daughter
ideally speaking, when making decisions for our children we must think of times 20-30 years in future, because that is when their practical life will be at its peak...that will be the time when your decision made today will come into action. So investing in their future by giving them what they need to survive 20-30 years from today is the best decision you will ever make for your children, of course regardless of their gender...even today there are more womenfolk in the work force than men...imagine how much women will be contributing 20-30 years from now.
you cant put a price on an educated woman, but you can on a wedding...
education will have a long term-return, along with a status in the society, independence, she will be respected, and most importantly she will be prepared to face any challenge, IA, while making everyone proud!
