Lindsay, it would be interesting to study this tendency you just expose in connection to why women are getting to be a major factor in Public Relations.
During the last Puerto Rican Public Relations XXIII Convention held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, I was amazed to see that more of 80% of the people present were women.
I asked many of my colleagues why of this disproportion (trying to balance my questionnaire between women and the few men alike). Some considered to be a cultural thing because a “macho” oriented Latin American culture, where PR is seen to be more fitted for women, while other careers such as medicine, law or engineering where the “natural” professional path for men.
But after a more accurate look I found out that this tendency is not only here in Latin America, but equally in the US, where PR is becoming a Women’s career.
I would like to know what you think about it.

Very good analysis. At 67 years, and going back to work after looking for work for 1 year - I know what stress is. Kids do grow up fast, and you can't get that "kid experience" back.
Live a little each day. Take care of yourself ...so you can take care of others. Have a circle of friends and family to give emotional and intellectual support. Read and watch for the world happenings.
Expect your significant other and kids to assist with home chores there is no excuse for the woman to carry such a load that she is unhealthy, unfriendly and a bitty to be around.
Live and love life...and if you don't toot your own horn once in a while, somebody else will use it for a spitoon.
