I understand. I think the point I am trying to make is that being a woman who has a job doesn’t make you “invulnerable.” A woman with a job, especially a low paying or median income job is still vulnerable to the crushing pressure of the economy and the unpredictable whims of reality. Based on my experience working, it hardly made me “free” or “independent.” I was trapped by the reality I was only barely getting by, just treading water and exhausting myself and for what?
Agree with this, and I certainly wasn’t meaning to imply that no one should be a SAHM. I also don’t think going to college is the right option for everyone (male or female), particularly if you’re going to have to pay full price and go into significant debt. But I also don’t think it’s good advice to tell young women to *plan* as if they’ll never need to work or make money.
