A link from [livejournal.com profile] greythistle on feminism, housework, and choices that aren't makes me wonder about the liberal arts & ambition-- there's no particular reason why an English or sociology degree should doom you to life as a secretary, but so many of my non-math friends seem to feel stuck between temping and grad school . . .

Very interesting. Especially in light of my own parents, both of whom had business degrees. When I was little, my mom considered completing her seminary education and becoming a missionary. My dad, then staying at home, encouraged her to stick to business. Now he's the schoolteacher (and did a fair amount of the child-rearing), and she's the executive.
