But it isn't for a woman who was brought up in a lower class environment. Teaching or nursing is much easier. It takes as much study to learn how to host a Charity Ball as it does to learn how to become a teacher.

I disagree with your premise that teachers and nurses are in a lower class of women than those who host charity balls.

Teachers and nurses include women who are more than capable of doing that hosting job. However, many women who host charity balls would be lost in a classroom or a hospital ward.

Your comment demonstrates to me how little respect women get for their work when they do something as meaningful as teach a child to read or save a life.

Another reason why perhaps more women should ditch education and nursing and go host charity balls, since choosing a buffet menu and hiring florists is seen as having more value in our society and garners more respect.

I didn't say that. What I said is that different women have different skills, and often their skills come from what they were taught by their parents.
But I also don't dismiss the women who run charity balls - they raise a lot of money for good causes. And it is a skill.
