Career Women

[batang uliran]

Nix:

I believe the politically correct term is homemaker and not housewife.

[nix]

Do most young women really look to make a long term career for themselves, or will a majority still want to be housewives at the age of thirty something?

[nix]

Err ...

[Ada]

If my husband could support our family, I'd have no second thoughts about becoming a homemaker. Having a career isn't that important to me. I would find more fulfillment in taking care of a husband and our kids. I believe there is no greater joy than in seeing your kids grow and guiding them along the way.

Btw, my mom is a homemaker so I want to be just like her.

[emilie]

Definitely a long-term career woman. I can be that and a good mother and wife too. Look at my mom! Besides, working gives a different sense of fulfillment, it's not just the income. Of course, if there comes a time when working and being a mom/wife will conflict, my priority will always be my family.

I would like to be both. I think that it's very possible to have both now, di ba?

[Reinne]

Long Term Career Woman! (sayang naman kasi pinag-aralan ko, right?) Women today can be both & hopefully I can too!
I can stop working and be a homemaker if my husband (to be) says so & if and only if we are financially stable.

[aris]

Ira : Its impossible to be both...being a homemaker is a full time job.

Women,now, is more inclined into having careers than having a family ( i think)...more (women)cherish the thought of being a single parent than having a family...i guess values has changed ( as needs change)...heheheheheheh

[bunny]

Women can do both!!! Women happen to be very versatile...just like my Mom. She has 2 businesses to take care of and a family to look after! I'd like to be a career woman in the same time be a great mother and wife to my children and husband. If my husband is financially stable, then I'll probably be a homemaker na lang

[ChiQui]

Like Ira... I'd like to be both. In this day and age, I think that women are very much capable of handling two "occupations". God didn't make us WOMEN for nothing. :)

[Ira]

aris: I don't think so. My mom is both. :)

[sampaguita]

Personally, I'm looking forward to being both a mother as well as a career woman. And I believe that it's not an impossible task but deals with your priorities in life what you hope to accomplish.

A woman can most certainly raise a family as well as biuld a career. And the success of either "occupation" rely on your priorities. If you want to raise your children according to your values and standards, then you should make every effort to be a part of their lives and not be so engrossed in business. It's all a matter of balance and knowing that family comes first. By keeping this in mind, I think that a woman can be successful in both fields.

[Tezz]

I think I want to be both... I went to school to be somebody and i'll continue to be that. I think I can be a good homemaker, too.. If others can, I can too. :)

[Blister]

I think, I just want to have a business na lang when I get to have a husband and children. Mas maganda na yun, in that way I can take care of them. I want to cook for them kasi and I don't want my baby to be taken care of helpers.. . mahirap na... what if ma-bump yung head? or may isubo at hindi sasabihin ng katulong... ayaw ko nun :(
at ayoko rin dumating yung point na iba ang hanapin ng anak ko kesa sa akin... same with my husband.

[Wangie]

Being a homemaker is a profession in itself, actually. DO you guys actually think it's an easy task to do?

Ako personally, I wanna be both din. I think it can work...priorities is right...you have to know what you prioritize. but it doesn't mean you have to give up the other totally naman.

[gwenni]

I'd probably have my own business -- this way, I control my time... and as such, have time for my family. It's just a matter of good time management. I believe that being a homemaker is an equally important task, if not more important, however, I also believe that it is not the duty of the woman alone -- each partner should do his/her own share. While I do acknowledge changing values, I believe that we must mainatain a strong sense of family. It is after all, these people for whom we work our but** off. To ask a woman to choose only one is like asking her to choose between her brain and her heart... I'd rather keep both... don't you guys wish your wives do so too?

[Cala]

I don't think being a career woman and a *homemaker* are exclusive terms. And since we say "career" and not merely job plans, we know we're talking more that just the practical side of it (i.e., saving money). At least that's how it is on my part.

I'd love to still be furthering my career when I have a family. Things will change, but it's just a matter of priorities and time management. And home life should definitely be top priority.

[CaRaMBa]

I'd want to be both. I guess I have to think of ways to make it work when everything's in place. Having a career and being a homemaker are both very important. Thing is, I don't think I will be happy with just one. I can't just be a homemaker - though it's hard work, I need a career - I'm that type of person. On the other hand, I don't think I'll be happy if I don't have a happy home either.

[Kyla]

As much as possible, I want to keep working even after I'm married and have kids. But I'll stop for a while when my kids are still babies because I want to be the one personally taking care of them. Then when they reach schooling age, I'll probably go back to work. Maybe I'll work part-time nalang so that I can devote more time to my family. After all, my family will always be my top priority.

[KuyaDanny]

Ada, I do not belittle the profession of homemaker at all.

But you have been blessed with skills and talents that are quite useful above and beyond homemaking. You've also spent quite a bit of time and effort getting educated.

Don't you think you can use these skills, talents, and education to benefit people outside your home (ie, society at large)? Having a career is one way to do that.

[This message has been edited by KuyaDanny (edited 02-24-2000).]

[tr|n|ty]

Well, as a person, I'm very career oriented and independent so I don't think i would stop working when i get married. Possibly slow down like get a consulting position and work from my house to take care of my babies while they are young. And i don't want to be totally dependent on my husband. I want my own money that i could spend for myself and for my children. That's why i plan to get married in my late 20's to be able to develop my own career and name before getting into marriage and the family.

[*happy*phantom*]

I do believe that one of the most difficult jobs, if not the most difficult, is homemaking. Raising children with the correct values and self worth takes a lot of ones energy. For the modern career woman, however, their career-related talents are also important. In this case, many may choose to work while still trying their best to take care of their home and family life.

In my case, I am thinking of a compromise--part time teaching or consultancy work so that I still have time to take care of my family. I do believe that my husband should also contribute in the work of homemaking.

[binky]

Most people think (esp. MEN) that being a homemaker is a cinch. They think that women should be satisfied and happy to be left home while they slave away at work. On the contrary, Homemaking can be very exhausting and tedious. i do not speak based on my own experience. I'm not married and i'm not raising a family. I speak on my mom's behalf. SHe gave up her career when she gave birth to her first child to able to tend solely to the family's needs. I'm not saying she made the wrong choice, but if i were her, i wouldn't have done the same thing. WOMEN should not have to give anything up, certainly not their careers! I don't see the point in spending our time STUDYING all of our early years just to get a good job, and when you finally get there... you drop everything for true LOVE, and you get married, raise a family and throw all the good education away!
IF Women plan to become homemakers, then at an early time they should decide not to go to college and study Homemaking instead. :)

[lupuS]

Back to the top.

[gem]

I want to be both but the priority would center on the home. ;)

[Gilbey]

the answer would depend on the background of the woman.

educational background and family background. from the answers - take note that those who said both have their own mothers as their role model. 8)

it depends on the personal view. definitely a learned / educated woman would try to make full use of her degree.

in singapore, it was noted that college level women are not interested in making a home - thus a lot of incentives for them to marry. and those who are not so educated (high school or lower) are the ones who marry earlier.

[yeee]

I would love to get married naman syempre..pero ano kakainin namin? ano ang magiging solid ground ko pag iniwan nya ako kung hindi pa ako makakapag establish ng sarili kong career bago ako patali???

I agree with sampaguita. When I do get married i want a lady who will be well balanced with her career and family. I want a strong , assertive lady career women who is also a caring, sincere wife... that would make me happy :) I intend to make her happy in return by providing assistance in our home... I would just have to find an acceptable lavendara, cook, yaya, maids, and drivers. Therefore allowing her time from her career life to spend with me and children.

I think i need to find a girlfriend first :)

[carlexpc]

It's high time for women to have careers of their own. It's good because it will be of great help to their families. As for me, I prefer to have a career woman for a wife or a girlfriend. In this manner, we would be able to establish a financially stable relationship especially at this time of Economic Crisis.

[m_i_c_o_y]

im a man but for me carrer women is more needed in the government, economic, etc. kung mag-iistay lang sila sa bahay, what the purpose of the education they have. sa panahon ngayon pantay pantay na!

Hahaay, gumacanian! It's your post that got to me again! But I won't react negatively. :)

It's just that... tsk tsk tsk... machismo... *shakes head*

[gumacanian]

How mature of you Calipso!!
Your learning fast!! He he!

[TNT2bluz]

It is a shame that a lot of women would want to be housewives and be "subservient" to their hubbies. At least here at home.

I can't advocate the notion of self-improvement enough to a lot of my friends who are eager to get married.

Too many of our mothers and sisters have fought for the right to achieve these "liberties" that women now take for granted.

[jigglypuff]

Sometimes I complain a lot about my work and I just want to quit knowing that my husband and I will be fine even if only one is working. But then when I think about the salary I will give up, the whining stops. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif

I will try to work for as long as I can. When the time comes that there's a need for me to stop, that would not be problem for me but eventually I will continue working, even on a part-time basis.

of course, at the onset, a young woman WOULD DEFINITELY WANT a long term career. i would too, but i would be willing to drop it if the need arises but i wont drop it permanently because i know that it is very important to earn one's own keep.

in other words, having a career is also a way of getting ready for the future. what's a girl to do if her husband suddenly dies and she has hungry mouths to feed? she cant live off her parents' wealth, cant she?

[zimdude]

Are women natural leaders, and men...the opposite?

According to Esther Wachs Book, "a new breed of leader is emerging, and that breed is female."

"Why the Best Man for the Job is a Woman: The Unique Female Qualities of Leadership" hails the lady CEO as a sign of a revolution taking place in a corporate culture traditionally dominated by men. The world of business is changing, Book writes, and it is women who are best suited to meet the challenges of the modern marketplace.


Book contends that women such as Meg Whitman of eBay and Marcy Carsey of Carsey-Werner succeed because they embody seven uniquely female abilities: they can sell their visions; they are not afraid to reinvent the rules; they are closely focused on achievement; they show courage under fire; they turn challenges into opportunities; they are aware of customer preferences; and they maximize what Book calls "high touch" in an era of high tech.

[Charlotte]

I believe that a wife must look after her family, that's the traditional way. I shall say that I partially agree kasi nakikita sa tahanan kung ano'ng ugali, paniniwala mayroon ang anak nila, dapat lagi silang namo-monitor.

Kaya lang sa hirap ng buhay ngayon both parents should sustain the needs of their family and If you became a career woman, it's very hard for you to know all the activities that your children have.

:angel:

[xyzseaman]

I want my *future* wife to have her own career too...that's why I'm not pestering her (my gf) to settle down and have a family...gusto ko munang maka-establish siya ng solid "foothold". And then, we'll decide on where are we going from there....

[Irradiate]

I just can't imagine myself staying home most of the time (unless you give me a good book to read :D) But I'm happy to say that when weekend comes, I'm a full-time home maker naman. So I guess, it's kinda possible to be both...although it is a bit difficult.

[*BuTTerFly*]

you can do both... pero i think magka-iba yung intensity..
i mean, hindi ka talaga makaka-focus sa dalawa.. pwedeng may career ka nga pero mas buhos ka sa family.. or pwede ring mas nakaka-focus ka sa career at nane-neglect mo ng konti ang family....

it's a matter of choice.. kung ano bang makakapagpasaya sayo.. sa lahat naman ng bagay, kailangan ng konting sacrifice... goodluck sa lahat ng mga housewives and career women :)

[mupheza]

Homemaker is a nice name. My prof once said that she calls her mom -> Domestic Engineer.

I'd like to think that I am able to earn enough to buy myself the luxuries of life. Like clothes, car, house, etc. And I don't like the thought that I will be asking these money from someone else - kahit na husband ko pa ***. So gusto earn ng earn muna, then if I am able to save enough, I want to stay at home and watch over the kids, cook for my family, make sure that the house is cozy... of course, to keep up with my personal expenses gusto ko ring mag-side-line. Building webpages won't be bad. Or even Wap pages. =}

Tama, mahirap mag balance ng dalawa, kaya I'm very proud of my mom kasi she was able to do justice to the term Career Woman.

[cherub_08]

*bringing back the topic* :)

since i am still young, i'd definitly opt for being a career woman. this would also be a good time to save for the future (for myself and my family). and i think that being both, a career woman and homemaker, could work. we just need to know how to balance our time and know our priorities. it doesnt mean that if your working, you'd be a lousy mother and wife. i think not. my mom works and at the same time, tends also to her family. i'm not complaining because she's doing her job well.

[AlphaMale]

In terms of attractiveness, some single career women might feel their pursuing a career would intimidate men. How many here feel that way?

Personally I'm more attracted to career women than the alternative. I've pretty much fended for myself most of my life, so I can't seem to get used to a 'doting-wife' arrangement with someone. Instead I enjoy the company of someone who's gone through what I have and understands me because of it.

[stnickmt]

I'm currently doing both jobs and some extra curricular activities. I have a full-time office job and two kids. I also teach full-time aerobics, doing a couple of community involvement and a whole lot more. And what's more important is that it doesn't take any quality time away from my kids and my husband, and I'm very happy and content the way things are now.....

[Ice Burn]

It's a wonder why this discussion doesn't suggest that men get more involve in home matters. The reason why children are closer to their mothers is that all the father thinks he is good for is to work and provide a means of support for the family. Even if the mother works, she still makes time for the family regardless of how busy she was at work. It's a typical scenario to see the husband go straight to the sofa to watch TV while the wife goes straight to the kitchen to oversee dinner.

The question is this. Would women have it easier as career women if the husband actually got more involved in household matters.

And why can't you men lower your overinflated ego just one bit to involve yourself in household matters? You'll get closer to your children as well as giving your wife an easier time to balance house and career.

[archicual2pards]

The fulfilling of being able to attain such distinction in this society of ours is a big achievement for them especially with the participation of the family.
carrer wise, family vice.

[suselle1]

I am a stay at home mom with 4 kids and no maid. It is really difficult, physically, mentally and emotionally. The thing here is we homemakers aren't given the "respect" or recognition. Let's face it, in our society between a career woman and a homemaker we tend give more importance/esteem to the former. I think it's only Oprah who truly appreciates the value of bieng a mom!

[Ianna:)]

Well, for me since I'm still searching for the right career and I still don't feel the feeling of really being a career woman, I prefer to be a homemaker. I often imagine myself taking care of my hubby and my kids, preparing their food and their baon and even bringing them to school. But I don't want to be limited to that, I want to have a business which will not take most of my time. I still want to be productive and I still want to make use of what I studied in school. But since I'm still young I can't really make up my mind on what I really would be. If I get a job that I really like and enjoy and it gives me the satisfaction that I need then I'll be a career woman but if not then I'll be a homemaker.

[WICKEDQUEEN]

basta ako? i love my mom VERY MUCH.

[aajao]

While the roots of our (Filipino) culture design Filipinas to be plain house wives when they have their own families, time (and perhaps, the status of living) has changed this "tradition".

Most Filipina moms of today are working, while fulfilling their duties as a wife to her husband, as well as a mother to her children at the same time. With all these, we can't help but admire them, and at most love them if that is the way we can show our appreciation to what they have been doing for their families.

On the other hand, single women who are also busy with their own careers are remarkable. They project an image of independence and strength. Not withstanding the situations that they have to face at the workplace everyday, these ladies are admirable. Even if they do not speak of it, you can't help but notice that they have a vision for their future. a future full of hope, love, and fulfillment. ;)

For all the career women of PEx, and for my mom & sister too, who are not PExers, this is for all of you:

She's Always A Woman

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
She steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

CHORUS

Oh-she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh-and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me

(repeat CHORUS)

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
But she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me

[Una_dagmar]

...inspiring!

[For all the gentlemen who happen to browse over this thread, I'd like to give a word of caution. I may be saying some things that you are not agreeable to.]

I have always believed that males and females have distinct strengths and weaknesses that separate the genders. Men are more known to be intellectually and physically stronger. Women are seen as more resilient than men.

On this note, I salute the working woman!*pinkcheer*

Women are indeed resilient considering the multiplicity of roles we have to fulfill every single day of our lives.

Mother, wife, career woman - these roles makes us who we are right now.

[batang uliran]

Men may be physically stronger but they are definitely not more intelligent.

Career women out there, what else do you do aside from your full-time jobs?

i guess, career moms attend to their families, while single career women attend to themselves. i hope they do take a break from all that hectic sked. its not a joke working full time aside from doing other duties. ;)

yup yup so true!.....
but didn't you think that maybe the single career woman finds time for work while she's still single because she thinks of her family as her career when she gets married :*) :sunny:

but i'm just wondering, would single career women not get bored being a plain housewife if she's used to having a job when she's still single? :hmm:

[aajao]

just asking those single career women out there, if ever the time comes that your husband-to-be wants you to give up your long-loved career and be a plain house wife, would you give in to it?

[KuyaDanny]

aajao, how could you?

No housewife is ever "plain". Not a single one.

[aajao]

well, not to "degrade" housewives, plain in the sense that they don't have outside jobs other than housekeeping. ...and caretaking the family, too. that would be tough though. now just imagine how the working moms do it. remarkable! ;)

[Yvaine]

Oh aajao, I beg to disagree... I don't think we could ever use the word "plain," even if it pertains to purely household work for the housewife. You won't believe the daily turmoils they go through just to get everything together.

I think therefore that there's nothing plain at all about being a wife, whether she's a career woman or a stay-at-home wife. :) Three cheers to the power of being a woman!

And aajao, to answer your question on giving up my career to be a stay-at-home wife, I'd gladly do that. Provided of course, that my husband has an income that's more than enough to support me and our children. :)

[aajao]

thanks for the input, Yvaine. and ok, let's drop the plain. ;)

any other thoughts? :|

[Mymnosene]

Wala bang thread for male homemakers? Dami dyan...

[trizfores]

i'd like to be both. balance my career and personal life.

I'd love to have both, although really, it is hard to keep an excellent footing in both the homelife you'd want to build as a wife and mother--and as a full-time career woman.

My mother tried doing both, and was fairly successful in her own right... but she would skip work whenever she can to concentrate on her sideline (because it made more money for us)... and then I was left to take care of household errands like reminding her of bills, grocery, and report card dates.

But I'd like to have my fingers crossed nonetheless. What's the harm in trying to dream of wanting it all? :)

just asking those single career women out there, if ever the time comes that your husband-to-be wants you to give up your long-loved career and be a plain house wife, would you give in to it? In a heartbeat. ;) If I'm fortunate to still be working for PEx if that time comes, it won't be a problem since I can always work from my house.
