Do Women Need a Degree

 A reader asks:

"Would you suggest a woman get a degree or get married, assuming the two were mutually exclusive?"

Great question. And there are several layers to unpack. 

First - most college degrees are somewhat useless. 

Second - the primary argument given by feminists as to why a woman needs a degree is for a backup plan in case their man leaves them. This is a very problematic argument - arguing to the extreme as opposed to the norm. This blog has established that 80% of divorces are initiated by women, and another 16% are initiated by men whose wives displayed infidelity. 

It would be wiser for women to focus on staying married to their husbands and not cheating on them. Then there is only a 4% chance of divorce! 

Summary

This blog cannot, in good conscience, suggest anyone get a college degree without a distinct and proven plan to use it. Think doctor, nurse, accountant, lawyer, engineer, and not much else. 

Given that, and given the unlikely nature of a "man leaving them," this blog would urge women to find a husband with similar life goals, and focus on how to be a godly wife. A very small percentage will experience hardship if they follow this course. However, a great majority of women who deny this course will experience great hardship. The choice is yours!
