Just a thought Pandora but it's not only women who receive no encouragement ref careers. I got little encouragement at all when I was considering employment. The majority of people are expected to take regular jobs in everyday careers, no-one is encouraged to achieve a dream!

Also, I see nothing wrong with wanting a family. I know many people who have this as their main aim in life, they don't want to change the world, fly to the moon, or be Prime Minister, they just want to have a family of their own.

Until people stop denigrating those who choose family life over a "career" then "having it all" (ie. burn't out by 40) will be forced upon successive generations.

p.s. Any child of mine who decides on a career in aviation is likely to be disowned!
