It can be quite difficult. If she doesn't get tenure and they have to move, if there are no jobs for her partner in town, finding someone to cover for her (esp. in a small department) if she experiences pregnancy complications and can't do her work, etc. Plus there's a hiring bias in some institutions against women of childbearing age. Plenty of female academics have had to choose between career and family. I aspire to become a professor, and I for one choose the career. I don't need a permanent partner right now and I don't want kids, but many women feel differently. You should try finding the blogs of some female professors to see from them what it's like.

Hate to break this to you partner...College is no realistic representation of what real life is like. When you have a job you are expected to get up each day and go work hard to produce results. If you want soothing hire a massuese(sp?)

It depends entirely on the university. There are some very "difficult" universities in England, as there are in the US. Likewise, there are some "easy" English and American universities.

It really depends where you re and where ou want to go.  Many many students do it so it cant be too difficult...;

I have a Bachelors Degree in Education. But since I've received an education I no longer believe in the whole "women in the work force" movement and have regressed back to the "homemaker" concept. I have chosen not to make any money, let my husband be the provider and stay home with the children. Having a mom at home is more important than money, in my opinion.

My husband is from india and his friend's wife came over about a year ago. She doesn't like it bc she has to work here and she didn't there. I suppose it would be hard to start to work if your not used to it and then you suddenly have to do household chores like cooking that you didn't have to do in India. I think it would hard.

yes....women are the back bone of a country..especially when u consider developing countries.the economy of a coutry depends on them.Educated mothers..educate their children,create a new work force and boost the economy.

I like it. It can be frustrating because your students are often ill-prepared for the rigors of college, but I don't know any job that isn't frustrating at one time or another. It is quite rewarding to share your knowledge with others and to see the "light bulb" when they get it.

12 Years of long hard and dedicated work.  So yes. Definatly very hard :)\n\nBut worth it on so many fronts, from working with challenging problems, to learning from your patients, to writing theses and such, it just is a very rewarding career tract.\n\n:)

It is for sure pretty tough. But if the condition insists, I think the key word is time management. Therefore, take no full time job and not so many class in the same time.

Well there are things that women need to know. There are some jobs that women can get. Jobs such as nurses and secretaries. Getting a good job means having a great education.

This is rather tricky...assess the strength of your team members individually and then consider different ways of keeping them motivated and focused. Females can be quite sensitive but given the right platform they are capable of alot of things. Have break in between working hours so that they continue to get time to know what their friends cooked for dinner last night and how the kids are doing...without affecting normal workflow. You can even organise group dynamics and teamwork camp so they are made aware of how much they need one another. \n\nThats just my 2cents of thought \n\nfrom a female working in an all male environment.

I don't think it's a big no no. It may meet with some disapproval, but as long as you are able to be available when you are supposed to be, it won't be much of a problem.\n\nI know it's not the same thing, but while I was attending undergrad classes a few years back, being the parent of four children was no huge disadvantage. I, personally, don't think being a parent is as hard on one's academic life as being single and partying, etc and plenty of students do that.

Yeah yeah, Ok Lu - Good for you - but back to the subject - not you using this thread to glorify yourself and your problem solving abilities. :-&#92;\n\nBack to the subject.......\n\nI totally agree with you Phil C - It's like when I was at school and Encarta just came out. All the kids with computers used to just cut and paste HUGE chunks of it into thier homework. \n\nIt's the same as all this coursework B*llsh*t. Kids racking up a grade without even sitting an exam - It should be all down to the tests, not studying and putting together studies that equate to 60% of your final grade.\n\nLife is stressful and in the working world it all comes donw to the crunch - They should be educated to deal with pressure from a younger age - then we wouldn;t get so many flakey Grads in jobs that have no idea about thinking on thier feet.\n\nKids are lazy as hell - we are just helping that.\n\nLu - There is a trait called modesty I believe you should look into developing. But I guess you are only a kid so brag. brag, brag away my smug little one. :-|

of course not. It's very common in the UK. Do you think there's an issue with a woman being a doctor? Check the date; it's the 21st century!

its a tough job emotionally. the course is easy and so is the testing, but the concern is can you handle loosing people who you take care of every day? i couldnt

yes because we have to put up with men... okay that was harsh, but honestly, it is often because they have to put up with much more because we are often expected to take care of children and either go to school or complete an extra income, and many other responsiblities, that are not expected of men.
