ANOTHER SKIRMISH IN THE MOMMY WARS. University Diaries linked to this post, then observed,

Because they are rich, these women have thrown their expensive professional educations away when they felt like raising children. Elite-graduate women who drop out of the workforce do it because they can -- because their families are already wealthy, or because their husbands are making enough money to support everyone on one income. Most middle-class women are guaranteed to keep working. They have to.

So while middle-class women are slaving away at a couple of jobs to afford night classes at the local third-tier law school, they watch wealthy women get subsidized through the best law schools and then nonchalantly throw the immense social investment that’s been made in them away when it no longer interests them.

There is a spirited debate going on at the sandhouse over there. Thanks for looking in here. But note, once again, the importance of things being done decently and in order. To the extent that the elite women have moved their pursuit of the MRS degree from the baccalaureate and the expensive law school, they are opening up opportunities for the strivers at the less-well-known law schools to make reputations for themselves ... just by showing up.
