I think that we've gone wrong here, that women should prioritize family and children way above career, that they should try to find their husband before they're 25.
We're homeschooling our kids.
We should make it where the husband or the breadwinner, which should be the husband in the typical biblical context, where he can make enough money so the mom can stay home and homeschool the kids if they choose.
Having children and having a family and getting married will have a much larger and more positive impact on you and our nation than go becoming a partner at some law firm.
That's actually not actually very fulfilling.
In fact, don't pursue that if you think that's going to give you happiness.
You will be a miserable, unmarried 33-year-old woman.
Let me say that again.
You will be a miserable, unmarried 33-year-old woman if you go pursue corporate, like, I'm going to go climb the corporate ladder.
Would you be able to give me some advice as somebody who so badly wants to succeed in surgery, but to get out of residency fellowship, I'm going to be 30 before I can really focus on myself.
So what's some advice for really balancing my career as well as venturing into settling down?
You're going to have to choose which one matters more, and that will be up to you.
So first of all, thank you for being involved with Turning Point USA.
So here's my piece of advice.
Go try to spend a couple days with babies, and if it doesn't move you to want to have some of your own, then go do the surgeon thing.
I mean that.
If you don't get baby fever being around young kids as a young lady, then you kind of have your answer.
But if you're around a young child or a young baby or like all of a sudden something greater than yourself gets activated, or all of a sudden you feel maybe a prodding by the Holy Spirit, then you got something to think about.
But look, you could potentially do both.
You could become an orthopedic surgeon and still do that.
