to be read with a sotto voice:
Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, women went to college (out here on the liberal coast) to get an education (that would be used for a few years until children appeared) because.......you really went to college to get a Mrs.
Normal voice: And yes, many of my sisters were elementary ed majors. One of my dearest friends said that her parents were ready to sit shiva for her (memorial services in the home after a funeral) because she was graduating without a husband. They said that they "wasted" all that money. Note: A month prior to graduation she was introduced to the guy she would marry. (disaster averted) BUT most of these women turned out to be marvelous accomplished women.
One of my sisters, I heard, came from Texas to pledge our house and then went back home and affiliated. ....she followed the script (love the phrase) and she married well.
