Mother of Princeton men tells women they'd better get to marrying

[SWTXBelle]

I did not get my degrees planning to use them for a career

I got them because education is a good in and of itself. I got them because I firmly believe that a democracy requires an educated citizenry. I got them because I wished to be educated for my personal development, and because I planned to have children. I wanted my children to have the advantage of an educated mother.

In fact, I ended up in education because I wanted my girls to have a private school education, and the only way I could do it was teaching at the school I wanted them to attend.

I love teaching, and can't imagine not doing it. But I still maintain that education doesn't have to be vocational training.
