The Baller Priorities of Young Women

Here is a new survey from the Pew Research Center that shows that young women now value being successful in a high-paying career or profession more than men do. I am not a lady, but Lindsay Katai is, and when she read this, she said, “If we ladies are a mess, at least we’ve got some baller priorities deep down.” Yes! And I will say that I am also friends with plenty of ladies who are not messes at all — they have a totally firm grasp on their finances, have great jobs, and are people who I really admire. We’ll have tons more Sara Blakelys and Sheryl Sandbergs in this world in the very near future.

Also, when it comes to family vs. jobs, family is still the most important thing to all of us. We all want to be good parents, have successful marriages and have great jobs. We can have it all, you guys. (Rolling in the deep!) [via]
