Thats a whole-nother can of worms. Even with a family that stays together, I'd prefer not to sacrifice my family for my career. I used to think that my career advancement was the most important thing for my family. I worked 14 - 16 hour days, sometimes taking 6hr power naps in the office. When I could, I'd run home for an hour or two for dinner, though we'd usually have a pizza or chinese delivered to the office. When I lost my wife I had two great regrets. The first regret was the time lost, especially in the fwo weeks leading to her death. A major product release is always a big deal at my company and it is often a very stressful period which demands lots of overtime hours. My second regret was when I came to the realization of how little my company actually 'cared' about me. They afforded me the standard 3 bereavement days (which is probably enough in some cases, but certainly not mine). Beyond my 3 bereavement days, any time off would come from my pool of PTO (which, I fortunately had a shit-ton of since I never fucking took days off). Once my PTO ran dry, any additional days off went unpaid. I have amazing friends who attempted to 'donate' their PTO days to me, but my company would not allow it. Everything was literally to the book, they offered 0 flexibility.

Point being a companies purpose is to make profit and your position within the company is to help the company achieve that. Seeking anything more than that out of a company is setting yourself up for disappointment as a company will NEVER be as loyal to you as an individual as it is to its investors. Your company will never be capable of loving you as a spouse or children are.

I do totally see your point with regard to failed marriages, however. I think it's horrible that we now must have a contingency plan when we approach our families future.

 

Custodian, dick.

 

It's sad indeed fam. Sorry to hear you lost your wife. Mind me asking how it happened?

I identified with many of the points in the article. Being attractive in the workplace is definitely a problem, even if you are trying to not look sexually appealing. I had a theory that if I colored my blond hair back to brown I may be taken more seriously, and -surprise- I was given a promotion immediately after coloring my hair. My superiors are all black and older than me so my being an attractive woman in my 20's has not helped me much over these past 6 years in terms of being taken seriously or being given promotions.
I interviewed for a different job in my field earlier this year. There were 4 older WW at a conference table who conducted the majority of the interview and asked most of the questions. In the corner of the room was a BM in his 40's who only asked one question but gave me googly eyes during the entire interview. I was one of four candidates interviewed for the job and didn't get it...I am convinced it was because the BM in the room was quite obviously staring me down the entire time.

 

where the hell do you work, BET?

 

Lmao or King Magazine. That's definitely a first for me.

 

As for being a successful woman and dating...I've kind of scaled back on some of my professional aspirations in favor of one day being a wife and mother. I'd been toying with the idea of going back to school for my doctorate and I cannot bring myself to do it. My ego and sense of pride want the doctorate but the benefits really end there for me. Pursuing the degree will take up a great amount of time and I'm not crazy about taking out another loan. The jobs I could attain with said doctorate would involve more responsibility and longer hours. I want to be able to enjoy my life and not have it based around my job. I'm busy enough with my recent promotion and during the soccer season (I'm a teacher and coach) I'm working 12-16 hours a day.

I've not had much trouble dating and teaching is generally considered to be a "pink collar" profession so men are not at all intimidated. In fact, they usually assume I'm an elementary teacher at first. After they get to know me a lot of men are shocked by the amount of work I actually have to do and the amount of stress I'm under. Some of the men I've dated who did not attend or finish college are a little intimidated by my master's degree.
My most recent boyfriend (now ex) actually said he wouldn't want to date me if I was getting my doctorate because I would have no time for him!

I think it's been long understood that a woman has to choose between career and family. The best I've seen of a woman having both is women who pursue career goals after their children are grown. Honestly, I hope to never work as hard as I do now AND raise a family/keep a house. My job responsibilities will definitely have to be scaled back or nonexistant. I'm not to proud to say I have no problem with being a housewife!

As someone on here already mentioned, it is your personal relationships in life that matter most. Whether I'm still a teacher or in another career, they'll have a warm body in my seat by the end of the week if I should fall seriously ill tomorrow!

 

Tell me you're 5'9 and under and I think we may have a love connection lol

 

Best part about teaching for me would be the opportunity to be involved with high school football again

when i played, the head coach was a biology teacher. One of the assisants was an off duty police officer, and another was a gym teacher if I recall correctly. You won't make a lot of money doing it, but coaching has it's own rewards

Lol

I've seriously googled assistant or volunteer jobs within Philly for youth leagues. Working bjj with guys newer than me is coaching in a way, but I started sports with football and I'd like to go back to it.

Guess I could get strength and conditioning certs and work with that.

It's nice to dream, right

there would be no more college on the side tho...wouldn't want to be another hack like Juan castillo who doesn't know what he's doin

 

Careful there... as we continue to cut school programs and teachers nationwide, you could become the next casualty...

Seriously, there is no more noble and much needed profession!

 

Dude go for it. What truly holds you back from doing it?

 

coaching is a noble profession. I remember a lot of what happened to me during HS football. The coaching staff we had left a lot of marks on my character, to this very day. I remember their remarks for not quitting during tryouts, even tho I was probably one of the most physically weak kids around. The cheesy shit you see in 'Captain America' does happen from time to time. Moments like that never go away and help you push forward in the later years.

Kids benefit not just from book learning, but from mentor moments like that.
