Our generation is undeniably ambitious...and while that is a good thing, it sometimes has it's drawbacks. As women, where do they draw the line for ambition with our loved ones?
While many of us hold managerial positions at a young age or pursue masters and law degrees, we continue to raise the bar for everyone else - which is awesome, but also exhausting! Does it make a difference to you to be with someone who doesn't hold the same education or position as you?
We wonder if the whole woman with a PhD or law degree being "too intimidating" is still true or just a cultural fib that mothers say?
We don't want to fall back on the whole "who supports who" argument because that line has become more of a blur with modern times, but education and professional standards are vital in shaping a person. Yes, we know it's not "what defines a person" but it does play a big part in the person you are today...
So we ask you Cairo, as we move forward with our careers, education, and sucessess, where do we draw the line for others? Is it acceptable to marry a man without a masters if you have obtained one?
