There are many things that a person can do with his or her life.  Certain people set out to bring home Olympic Gold Medals.  The combination of power, ingenuity, and stable income offered by the corporate environment is an enormous draw for any and everyone with a degree.  The philanthropic among us focus their lives on the selfless path of  giving back, speaking for the impoverished, and enriching the lives of others.

Society smiles on these paths because society considers these jobs to be “real”.  The definition of a “real” job  is extremely subjective.  For the purposes of this article we will use this definition (borrowed from answers.com )

A regular activity performed in exchange for payment, especially as one’s trade, occupation, or profession.

Women have always faced an uphill battle in  the workplace.  Most work environments are rigidly defined with rules that favor the male persona. Expressing emotions like anger, jealousy, fear, and sadness can cause setbacks in a man’s career.  For a woman, showing these emotions is career suicide.

Some women are making the controversial choice of not dealing with this scenario at all.  These women (many with degrees) are trading in the laptop for the dustpan.  When given the choice of preparing a steak dinner or presenting at the Quarterly Financial Symposium these women choose that juicy Ribeye every time.

Choosing to be a housewife is often seen as a cop out.  Women and men around the globe debate the issue all the time.  There are a million arguments for and against it from both gender pools (with good points to be made from all sides).

We at surveymagnet.com want to know how you feel about the issue.
