Very few people who started Bain with children lasted. Most of the successful professionals (professors, high-level managers, lawyers, doctors) with children I see now are those who completed their education and many years of lower level employment (interns, residents, consultants, associates). Then, when they attained a higher level (doctor, manager, partner) and had more flexibility with their schedules and much more expendable income for childcare, they had a few kids.<br /><br />Basically, those who start families early, and decide to raise their kids with little domestic help or daycare, or without the stay-at-home parent doing 100% of the work at home, sacrifice a great deal in education and career. I think the gap is only widening as it becomes normal for young educated people to delay or even forgo marriage and parenthood.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952188027503911052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386936670414405452.post-68249591900062232672013-04-11T10:52:47.036-06:002013-04-11T10:52:47.036-06:00I agree.

A happy family life to us doesn't mean more money. Thankfully we are on the same page on this issue, or there could be some serious marital discord. <br /><br />It is kind of annoying to think that men can work 100hrs a week guilt-free and women can't (not that I think EITHER should be working that much guilt-free, I just hate that the men can). Society sucks. Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06071992105850067876noreply@blogger.com
