a family or a career....
...can you really have both? And the answer is.....yes, if you're a man! LOL Life is not fair, and that's all I have to say. I do not want a penis, but sometimes it seems that they do get the better deal...those with penises. I was in some training last week on the use of mediation in divorces and custody cases between parties with a history of domestic abuse/violence, and at this training I had an ephiphany(sp?) that I should go to law school and go into family law and that way I could more effectively help dv victims. I'd have a practice serving regular people and charging them and helping socioeconomically challenged dv victims for free. And then I realized that by the time I could start law school I would be almost 30 when I finished and then it would probably be another 5 years before I could have kiddies...and I don't want to be 35 having my first child. And how good of a mother would I be if I were also a lawyer? Would I have enough time for the kids? I'm thinking no....so the question that I'm sure thousands of women have asked themselves is...do I have a family or a career? And I just don't know. Errr on society for making me choose.
