I know married women who are physicians, lawyers, engineers, and other professionals. Not one of them has been pushed into her career by her husband. In fact, nearly all of them began their professional education and training before meeting their husbands.
Well, in my case, Eeees is currently in the process of obtaining a Master’s Degree for the purpose of following a career. I did not push her into it. I encouraged her to follow whatever path she wants — if she wants to be a SAHM, then I was for it. If she wanted to go for a career, I would support her too.
In the end, she did both. When the kids were younger, she was a SAHM. Now that my kids are all teens and don’t need the full-time attention as much, she’s pursuing a career.
