The pity party for women continues. This column decries how tough life is for educated, successful young women who are discovering that — D’oh! — life can be frustrating and, yes, even unfair at times. Heaven help us. How is it these women earned a college degree but have little or no sense of the real world? Where were the parents? Where were the college counselors?
“It’s important to analyze what is causing the dissatisfaction,” says Purdue University’s Teri Thompson. “The old adage, ‘Out of the frying pan and into the kettle’ is filled with wisdom: often we leave a job because of unhappiness and in our zeal to get away, we fall right back into the same traps, the same situations.” Therefore, these women are requesting more flexible schedules or seeking different work responsibilities. Many are turning to therapists and prescription medicines, as well as explore alternative remedies, including acupuncture, yoga, and even psychics.
They’re turning to drugs and psychics????
