So many of my Ivy educated friends who went to get advanced degrees from Ivy as well decided to SAH for a while and made career sacrifices. I respect them for it and I think it's great they have this choice. I don't see why one should measure success in terms of money and career. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

By that argument, no one with a top education should ever be allowed to take any time off during their career. Not for childcare, not to retire early, not to care for elderly parents or a sick spouse, etc. And who would say to a successful professional "Sorry, you can't retire at 50. You went to Yale and owe it to the world to work at least 40 years" [ Reply | More ]
