Homemaker

A pro football player gave the commencement address at a small Catholic college and caused an uproar because he talked about women being homemakers. At the local high school there are about 100 female teachers which means they are all college graduates. If after they pursued their teaching careers for a few years and then married a man who owned his own company and was earning several million dollars per year, would that affect their future careers. When these young women had their first child would they put the baby in child care and continue teaching or would they stay at home and care for the baby. How would they handled additional children. Would they view being a homemaker as somehow less than being a career woman. Would some be thankful that they had the financial resources to be stay at home moms. This football player talked about his wife being a homemaker but that was interpreted by some to mean that he felt all mothers should stay at home. A woman's choice of a working career or a home career is often determine by economics. The point should be that women are allowed to choose their career just like men are and one option should not be considered less than another.
