Was extremely keen on doing biology after school years, girls were not considered going to study further, fortunately my Mom always had a saying "feast your eyes, it is right in front of you."

Got to love our wonderful Moms @joanstewart, my Dad did not see any future in a tertiary education for young woman either and was very vocal about it. He considered it a waste of time since I was going to be come a housewife! But Mom very quietly encouraged me to have a career and to always be independent with an income. I listened to my Mom and it was not until I completed my Masters which was my 4th lot of study that Dad stopped being negative.
I have gone back to studying throughout the years, working, raising children, my Mom was adamant no woman should ever be totally reliant on a man being the only one earning.
Mom, myself and little sister all went out to be employed, look back sometimes considering why I never ventured into being an entrepreneur at a younger age. In the end I was the only one to achieve a University pass eventually in 2005.
Never say never, woman especially should help each other with many regions still under the same disillusioned frame of mind.
