I can see both points... me and Julio went at it about this before (debate, not fight) -- and people are often where they are as a result of their own choices. Hell, I didn't wanna be sitting out in Iraq (don't make me count how many BDAYS and holidays I've spent in somebodies f*cked up country) getting shot at - but now I have a pretty good d*mn life. It's not where I can sit at home everyday and the money wouldn't run out - but my pockets aren't exactly nervous. Not to mention. I work 6a - 2p and still am considering doing "something" after 2 in the way of work just b/c I am healthy and I see the big picture. And let's say that I work at Pep Boy's -- no1 that came in the store would ever know what I do from 6a - 2p at AT&T and what I make.

More likely than anything, that woman dedicated her life to her husband, who is now dead or can't work - and found out why 50 years of being a SAHM is just NOT smart. She has no safety net to fall back on in the event that he wakes up one day w/ his d*ck in some1 else's mouth. I'd never tell my wife (if i had one) that she has to work - I do alright --- but I WILL tell her that nothing in life is guaranteed, to include our marriage --- and make her decide for herself how to shape her life - be that school or work.
