“Forget Balance. Working Women Want Money”, You’re kidding right?
Business Week’s Working Parents Blog ran an post last week covering survey results that indicate “Working Women Want Money Not Balance”. I imagine reviewing the demographics of the women surveyed would reveal that these women aren’t Six Figure Moms. It may be true for some but I have issue with the suggestion that women must choose between one or the other. Most of the women I interview and coach are concerned with balance because they want a good mix of everything. We can’t have both balance AND money? I think we can. As a Six Figure Mom, you have an opportunity to use your resources to speak up and influence the change that’s occuring in our US workforce. Everyone wants more flexibility, telecommuting options and the option to choose whether they work 8-5 or 5-8. This is no longer an issue that only hits home with women but with everyone that’s ever got a taste of it and liked it.
Check out the post and tell me what you think?
The other interesting thing to note when visiting Business Week’s blog is how vehemently readers respond to working women’s issues. Sometimes the posters are downright angry that women want to work and raise a family. If your family is safe and happy, whose business is it anyway?
