Reminds me of "gain the whole world, yet lose his soul" in regards to just picking what we do based on financial yield. I got questioned about this when I became a full-time mother (eventually to 6 children) as people said I was wasting my mind. My retort was "So you think children should be raised only by women who are not intelligent?" That scared off most of those who thought my only consideration should be my own financial advancement. Balance. And my 6 grown children are worth all the paychecks and stupid meetings I missed. !BEER

That's a great comeback XD
Back in the day in the Middle East, the recommendation supposedly was, if you have a boy and girl and can only afford to have one educated, educate the girl, as she will be the one who raises the children. Yeah, there are some other issues in that approach like who should raise children, but otherwise, it makes sense.
