It’s very tricky. Although students may enter college thinking that “professional success” is one of their most important goals in life, their views may evolve as their lives progress. Five years out, a graduate well on the road to professional success may choose to follow his/her significant other to another city, where the job prospects in the graduate’s own field are limited. Ten or fifteen years out, a highly successful graduate may choose to drop out of the workforce for a while or scale back his/her career because of the demands of raising children. Highly educated people may choose “lesser” jobs that allow flexibility in scheduling rather than more important jobs that do not. In this generation, both men and women make these kinds of choices. And I don’t think they represent failure. They represent well-thought-out choices by sensible adults.
