"In a controversial article by Michael Noer, the writer breaks it down to unmarried men: Whatever you do, don't marry a career woman. Noer cites studies in various journals that say the professional woman, who has a college degree, works at least 35 hours a week and therefore earns more than $30,000 a year. She's more likely to get divorced and cheat on her husband with co-workers. She will be either angry about having kids or angry about not having kids. Noer argues that marriage is hardest when both partners work outside the home, and that research shows divorce is more likely the more hours a woman works.

As you might imagine, Forbes.com removed the article, later re-posting it, accompanied by another article, from a happily married female Forbes writer who's worked for over 20 years.

But for many, the damage was already done."

Вообще-то странно - вот если 35 часов заменить на 50, а 30К - на 70К, то тогда похоже...

ИМХО, разумеется.

Тогда выборка получается слишком маленькая.

Вы правы...но это не отменяет моей правоты.
