Yeah, I don’t disagree. Our society really downplays the truths about fertility and age. I did the college and career path first. Got my B.S and started my career at 22, met my husband at 23, married at 26, Masters degree at 28, and then pregnant at 29 and will be a mom at 30. It is nice to take a leave from my career knowing that I have my education and 8 years of experience to fall back on if or when I decide to go back, versus trying to start my career in my 30s. But I definitely wouldn’t have wanted to wait any longer to start a family.
Exactly! While I’m definitely more of a traditional kind of girl, I think that having an education and established career of my own is absolutely essential. My career is definitely not my first priority in life, but knowing that I have it to fall back on gives me peace of mind that I will always be able to care for myself and my kids if life ever took an unexpected turn.
