tzippi, as far as preparedness for marriage with “careers”, I wish I’d have some money for every girl I know who married young and naive and wishes she would have completed her career before marriage. Pleasing schoool, work, house, social obligations, kids, and husbands requirements and needs ain’t no fun, all at the same time as paying bills, even with parental help.
We all know that once the girls have careers, more often than not, they earn for a few hours what their uneducated peers earn a week.
