They expect you to go to university and then find a career, not a job is married or until one has a baby. That's the message that they give you.
That's the message that YOUR all-girls school gave you. There are a lot of other ones that don't give this message, they give you the message to marry a nice boy from the all-boys school and make him babies.

Does this remind anyone else of Mona Lisa Smile?
