For women
When i was back in University, i used to dream about building a successful career, wearing a power suit, waltzing in life. They said study hard and later on you will be happy in life. I wont deny that studies is important, having a degree and im still working my ass off for someone i have never talked to, never known and making him richer and richer each day while tiring myself off. This isn't exactly what i thought i would be having.
That aside, i thought i will resign the moment my future husband strikes it rich. Then again, i changed my mind after some deep thinking. I really feel that every woman must have a career not matter what job is it, as long as you are earning something. Why? Well, imagine this. Your hubby works his ass off, comes home, you have done all the house work but he is still going to think it's nothing compared to the work he does at office. Next, whenever you want to buy something for yourself, you have to ask your hubby for money. How it is feel to do that for the rest of your live? Even if your husband doesn't mind, would you be able to spend it on yourself without guilt? It's like having someone else paying for your luxury. Yes, i know it's not someone else but your own husband and it's fine if he is a major millionaire but what if he is also a normal employee at an office? It would eventually drive him nuts to pay all your bills no matter how thrifty you are. Career gives a woman a sense of respect, not just from the husband but also from the community. With career, you still have something to rely on even if your marriage doesnt work out. With career, you still have a sense of independence. It doesn't matter if your work is bogging you down(and im not saying you should stick with it either), as long as it is there when nothing else works out. With career, your husband would not think of you as a burden, an extra mouth to feed. Instead, you will have a say in making decisions about finances and the way the household routine is done. Life would not just revolve around your own little home but it would take you to other places as well.
I'm kind of confused, i want a less frustrating career, i want to have a good marriage and i want to take care of my husband and children and my house myself..plus my current family..
At the same time,i want the luxury of sleeping till 12pm..damn! =)
