If I could go back to high school I would complete the full on maths/science strand and go on to study physics at Uni.
My cousin did that except, she's a super duper hardcore Math geek. She ended up getting her doctorate in Statistics at Melbourne Uni. She's a full time housewife now.
One time we were chatting and she told me she feels guilty for staying home and not working. I told her 'What could possibly be more important than for a mother to stay at home and raise her children to become productive members of society?' She liked that.
the question I like to ask for those that really like their work...........
"if you replaced your income tommorow, would you go back to work for free"
Surprisingly many would, under different terms however

Sadly higher education wasn't really the done thing for girls in those days so became a bank teller instead.
Would you have quit trading if the dollars you made were substantial?When we decided l had to quit art , we wrapped a house, renovated it and resold. That gave me some new money to day trade , something else l always fancied.
But hey , 4 computer screens , numbers, letters and nothing physical , did my head in .

Once I smoked a Danneman cigar, I drove a foreign car,
Cheap wine and a three-day growth
but yes I take your point about brickies and the songs they sing .......
I am pretty sure you will find the lyrics are "Cheap wine and a 3 day old goat".
It wasn't really the done thing when I left school either. Girls either went to work in a bank or to secretarial school. It may have been before Mr Fab's time, but it wasn't that long ago.
Was listening to the radio this morning....... discussions relating to highly paid positions in Australia, mining is up there of course, now with the down turn not sure whether this will continue to be the case.
My question to you is are you happy with your choice/career???
If you were able to select another career/do something else, what would it be and why?? I know its not all about money, however surely this must come in play to a degree.
MTR
I don't know any air traffic controllers, just curious how much does this pay?? considering the stress etc.
Are you a few hundred years old or what?
haha. My Mum horrified people by studying at uni and becoming a sonographer in the 1970's. Most girls back then worked until they got married and that was it, so it was office jobs.
.... and on the subject of women in the work place
How bizarre is this and not that long ago -
Until well into the 1960?s Australian women in the public service were forced to resign from their jobs as permanent officers if they got married.
