For all the stay at home moms, yes I'm one of them. I have one question, do you plan on going back to work once all of your children are in Elementary school? Or do you like staying at home and have decided to never work again? I am just curious, my husband and I have talked about it. I am mainly home just for my kids, to be here when they come home from school is nice, but, I tend to get bored easly, so I have decided once my 3 year old enters into Elementary school, I will be going back to work. I have thought and thought about this, my husband is fine if I decide not to work or if I decide to go back and work. We are financially stable so I can choose to stay home if I want. I would be working so i won't be bored, while the kids are at school all day long. I do plan on working part time, so i can be home when they get home from school. I'm not the type to sit around and do nothing all day, right now my kids are home half the day at least my 5 year old is, so I have her, and my youngest to be home for. I just can't envision myself sitting here all day long with no children around, going gee what do i do now, ain't gonna happen.

I'm done rambling, waiting for replies!!!!

I don't see what the hype is about lawyers. If a certain logic was correct by a few of these posters and lawyers were soooo intelligent and power-driven, wouldn't they aspire to be judges? I have a sister that's a lawyer. She doesn't have this attitude that she's better than anyone else. I had a cousin who was a Legal Aid lawyer and I made more than she did. We keep lumping lawyers into this group with doctors and scientists.

You need more formal education to be a lawyer than a paralegal.

Right, but who yields more power in the courtroom?

And let's not forget about the 50/50 Club, where all BRCM residents are members and nobody ever gets taken advantage of by their spouse...;-)

Well, the judge wields it and the lawyer yields it.

I'm sure that's something to aspire to: making contacts and working your way up.

Every one's idea of a career goal is different though.

Maybe not a teacher but a head of dept. or an assistant principal or principal. It depends how far the individual wants to go.

Don't you think men face subetle (or maybe not so subtle) pressure to choose more "masculine" aspects of teaching - like coaching, or older grade levels much the same way they have been discrouaged from professional like nursing in the past?

The lack of men teaching in early elem grades is probably not a direct reflection of a lack of interest, but probably a combination of fewer interested men compared to women plus active/subtle discouragement of men from making that choice.
