LOL Anyways, here are some readings for you for the rest of the evening. - http://in.rediff.com/getahead/2006/aug/25msg.htm - http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/pm/career/archives/dont-marry-a-career-woman-11332 and this one: "However, men and women continue to have different attitudes about their efforts to achieve a work/life balance. Balancing work and family life affects the hours people are willing to work, their choice of position, and their career goals. In the ACS study, men are more likely than women to say that balancing family and work had no effect on their careers--35% of men say it had no effect compared with 28% of women.

However, in balancing work and family, 47% of women compared with 39% of men say the number of hours they work was affected." - http://pubs.acs.org/cen/employment/8114/8114employment.html
