Career Women

[Ella]

I don't really know what my thoughts are on career women. I mean, I understand that for some women it's career first then kids after as they'd want to get as high up the ladder as they can for whatever reason (maybe they want to financially stable or settled in their career before kids, or that children just aren't on their list). But, personally for me, I want a career but I also want kids in my 20s before it starts getting difficult. And if I can't have the two then I'd choose kids and hope my husband/partner would be able to support the family.I dunno, life don't always turn out the way you expect it to.

define career woman thencus ur jus stating any selfish non maternal woman who has got a job and is jus not too into starting a familyan so puts all her energys in work a career woman doesnt have to do any of the above

basically a career woman is someone who concentrates on her job to me. moving up in the company etc. meaning you might have to relocate and travel because of your job.but i think.. the job will take up your time but not all of it. because you are doing projects or for profits etc. and in what i want to do it is mainly going to be early years. thats why i cant have children early. but i dont see why it can get in the way of a relationship. there are always weekends & evenings and holidays and some days.i dont know im probably wrong

Not probably. You ARE wrong.

good then. its not like i want to be an investment banker or doctor. that would require my time 24/7. i wil have to work a lot and sometimes travel for projects but i dont think i would be the worst... i would get weekends & evenings & holidays

I think you're confused with what a career woman is...Weekends?LMFAO...I'm dying inside.

it starts out hectic but goes back to normal after like 3/4 yrs tho.

So while she is concentrating on her job... where is the time to concentrate on her relationship and family? Do you think weekends and holidays will be sufficient for a healthy relationship?Imo... It's all well and good wanting to have dreams and a career... however as a woman if you want to have a family you have to find balance... working full time can't run.You may start your career early MissBee... but what about when you're ready to have children but you've been given a promotion... which will you choose? A career woman would choose the latter... thus prolonging the creation of a family... then they have the audacity to moan when it becomes too late to concieve and ur relationship fails... then ur wishin u could take back the yrs of only concentrating on work.And what career woman finds time to breastfeed their child?

Lol @ career women thinking their status/money/achievements will make them anymore attractive to us when we looking for WIFE...

[MARLO STANSFIELD]

I see where Mike Kane is coming from.Career Women think that they control the main driving force of teh relationship, and when they have children the guy has to agree with otherwisde he's "bad". Why should you chase your dreams whilst the dreams of your partner or placed on hold because he wants to do stuff with you? Every decision whilst in a relationship should ahve your partner in accoutn, irregardless how small, but it should still be part of a deciding factor.Career women in short think too much about progressing themselves and not the relationship, which is why you have black films where they haev a black career woman struggling to find a black man with his sh*t together.

spot onill give you an example the girl i was with was like a big spender she earned more than me but to be fair none of that mattered to me cos i wasnt with her for her material possessions the girl LOVES to spend money and if you got it then go ahead but i aint really inna taking on board her way of spending when i know full well i cant afford it i mean ill say rags im a man that shops in asda and lidl even netto rags but just cos im with a chick that has loot dont all of a sudden means im gonna start shopping in marks and spencer and waitrose im someone that likes to solve problems with my head and not my wallet and i find that when im with a career chick (cos ive had a few still) we just dont get on cos i always feel im more practical than them.i think i have made a big compromise not caring if they earn more than me but allow expecting me to follow you im the MAN of the relationship end of no woman wants a man that cant lead.

i really really dont understand by what you mean by they are equivalent to wastemanhow is wanting a good life for your family and yourself selfish????

career women are all about them and their business i can understand a woman that has been shunned and left with a kid but when ya a young woman dont then think when ya done got all ya achievement man must be on settling and having kids the world dont revolve around these women and the sad truth is when these women realise they have a short choice of men to choose from they then wanna slate man.black girls im talking about mostly tbhits nuts cos at this age any woman i meet will be BANG ON getting breeded just cos she has done all she wants to do as if say time is of the essence when really it aint.

What I was saying earlier.

[Guest Van Der Wavy]

TBH, I feel sorry for MissBee...She's young, I hope she learns but she should bear in mind this is what men in their 20's are saying...She has NO excuse for not knowing when she starts dealing with men in their 30's and the way it's going, probably 40's...

i would like to be the type that leaves the guy to do the working but if he leaves where does that leave me??? least i know i will always have a degree to back me up if i decide not to work too hard and i can still get a good job but be a working woman not a career woman. if its worth it.

and there you have itthink about all the successful business tycoons off the top of ya headdo you think they see their family as much as they want?of course nota real career person is on call for work 24 7 to be honestthese are the things your likely to have to choose between or rather the things you may have to missyour childs school playyour kids parents eveningyour kids karate lessonsetc etcmost of the things that kids do are in the DAY and most business hours are 9 to 5 but other organisations like insurance and banking can be pretty much 24 hours a day.ya just not gonna have to time to do both i aint saying dont be a career chick but dont THEN think you can move to a man and expect him to be on settling straight away cos ya playing catch up life dont work like that you have to go thru the "getting to know me" stage like any one else i dont care whats in ya wallet.

[Guest Van Der Wavy]

Know what the difference is between a career woman and a woman who works?Jay in the 1st episodes of My Wife & Kids: Career woman...Jay afterwards: Woman who works...

[Wavant]

Too much watching of 'Two Can Play That Game' TBRH.There is a real big difference between women that work and career women. I personally pity career women.You got them LOGer types that would drop everything as soon as sperm hits eg,g then you got them power suit wearing Deborah from Dragons Den types.f*ck THAT. I know what I want.

[Guest Van Der Wavy]

TBH, the LOGers of the world>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Need to find her a man.

[Em Dott]

Can't always have it your way.If man like McNulty is a wastedad and misses nuff of his kids things, what makes a career woman think she will have time for her family?You have to compromise, and that such have a large affect on how you choose to progress in life.

Noone is saying you can't have your degree and work... you just ended your previous argument tbh

[Guest Van Der Wavy]

Look at the statistics too...45% of Black women in the States have never been married.Bear in mind, they're probably the most progressive ethnic 'group' in corporate America...I know it's a similar thing here too just can't remember the statistic. Now, you have to also consider that as women get OLDER, you're choices for eligible men decrease whilst as MEN get older, it increases tenfold with every year regardless of your social standing.Then there's the fact that women outnumber us anyway...

lol making me feel bad!!! like i said before... i am still a single person so natuarally right now i would think more about myself. but i am still discovering what i want to do. and if i have a long term boyfriend and everything is good then when it comes to decision making this will hugely influence my decision so it can suit both of us.i will always have my degree so if things between us are good i will be a working woman. if not it might not be worth giving up then & there. do u get what i am saying???? that there is compromising..

[Guest Van Der Wavy]

Not even tryna attack you MissBee but going by what you were saying initially, you're singing a different tune now and you should be thankful because it means we've gotten through to you...

[MARLO STANSFIELD]

if you was self employed and in a family business i would salute you but ya probably gonna work for a company you will never own and it wasnt to make you feel badschools operate between 8 and 4business operates more with other businesses between 9 and 5 and even after that so they can get leverage over the next business (why else you think say a company like tesco and sainsbury have mini stores all over the place (go study business and see for yourself)i suppose you can just get ya man to put his phone on loud speaker so you can HEAR ya daughter singing at the choir while ya securing a million dollar deal but hey thats you.YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE and in the mean time while ya earning so much LOOT ya kids are runnin riot and stabbing someone and then when ya find out ya like "my daughter is such a good kid she wouldnt hurt anyone"deluded parents >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ashman and ceazy tbh

lol UNFORTUNATELY YOU HAVE.my father is a wealthy career man & he still left my mother & we struggled. she has worked HARD to get us where we are right now. but i dont want to struggle i dont think i am strong enough to tell the truth. i dont want to love a man and leave my career only for him to leave me with nothing. because if my father did it why cant any other man do it to me?so at the top of my list there has always been MAKE MONEY. partly to show my father we dont need him even more than he thought. but i know i am capable of loving which is why i still want a family..i dont know guys. its my life & its hard to explain
