To: Andy from Chapel Hill
I also had women in my MBA class with similar results as in your class.

One of the problems with marrying MBA women is that the couple will now have two careers that will pull them in different directions--literally. He gets a job offer in Chicago. He has one in L.A. Now what. :-(

One partner needs to be the dominant breadwinner who will be prepared to subordinate their career if needed. Otherwise the marriage just won't work.

Since the MBA women want to use their skills in the workforce they will tend to discourage a high-powered, high-earner mate. On the other hand they will tend to look down on blue collar types.

I think most MBA students (male and female) recognize that this is just the way it is.

A dear friend of mine has an MBA in Speech Pathology. Her hubby's MBA is in Economics. They married at 38 and 40 respectively and had a child the next year. He's the main bread winner as she is a full time home maker although works about 10 hours per month doing private therapy and is able to bring her son along.
