However, this is also cited as a reason for divorce, as it was for Kathy

Wow! That is really something! At least she was honest about it. Many
women don't marry men they otherwise probably would if the man only made
more money, so why not divorce them when they fail to deliver on a promising
college major that came from a top school.
I bet if his major in college had been education or social work she would
have never married him in the first place! I remember reading how in a
study, female med students in their last year were asked why they went after
men as mates who were also going to be doctors
instead of going for men in less well paid careers.
The women replied that they wanted a man as educated and especially as
cultured as they were. The author found this remark rather strange and
considered it largely a case of self-deceit. What the women really wanted
the author felt was a mate who made comparable money. But this was not just
to have more financial power as a couple but to feel they could respect the
husband as an equal.
sincerely,
John Grigg
