Education does not equal to higher quality life for women


Source: Successful and Educated Females (http://engineers-news.appspot.com/)
As girls, we are told that if we get ourselves educated, we would have a better future.

However, what is a better future?

Usually. adults often define a better future for us as having access to better-paying jobs or jobs with more influence and power.

However, is that all what life is about?

As women, we need to think again: what is a better future for each of us as individual? Are we just defined based on our income or our job? Aren't there aspects like family which are equally important as well?

Many educated women are single, growing old by themselves. Alone. Or, they married late, putting career in front of a setting up a family.

Looking on the brighter side, these women often look to their nephews and nieces for social connection. So it's not that they are really that lonely. They also actively involve themselves in community work with children.

Not that growing old and alone is wrong but if someday you fainted in your home and there's no one knowing about that, isn't it unfortunate?

Whereas, women who are less informed about the world, who are more ignorant, who never knew what pursuing a career is about, have the love and connection that a family can bring and are often as happy, if not happier, than career women who only have their resume to showcase about themselves.

Is that what higher quality life is about?

Beautiful + Uneducated = Highly Desirable Women

Source: http://whisper.sh/
The quote is not true.

But the equation below is true.

Beautiful + Uneducated = Highly Desirable Women

That's reality.

Why?

A while ago, I heard a piece of news on a local Chinese TV channel in Singapore about a Vietnamese woman who married a Singaporean lorry driver. The driver was poor and didn't have a house. They ate, slept and lived their daily lives on the lorry. The Vietnamese wife couldn't work because she was on social visit pass. The rental cost on the public market was too high for them. They were also not eligible to apply for public rental unit from the Government. The good (or bad) news was the Vietnamese wife was a few months' pregnant. The news was brought to the attention of the government authorities. An exception was made and they were given a public rental unit for one year provided that they purchase a government flat after that.

See The Straits Times's coverage of this news here.

Even a foreigner with little education could have a chance to find love and be married to foreign land with better opportunities and could set up her family here.

What can I say?

Maybe it's in her destiny that she will have a better life.

For the rest of us, we have to keep going, keep moving and better ourselves so that we will better luck. There's no certainty in the dating and marriage games but we can increase of chances to win!
