Women with Advanced Degrees More Likely To Get Divorced

The Wall Street Journal reports that Women M.B.A.s are twice as likely to divorce as are their male counterparts.  To a lesser degree, the same thing applies for women with law or medical degrees.

I suppose that it’s not surprising that advanced degrees prompt more divorces.  After all, more intense and stressful work — especially in careers that demand lots of overtime — is bound to be make things more difficult at home. 

So watch out women — a professional degree appears to be very hazardous to your marriage!

I don't think this has much to do with the "stress" of advanced degress. I think it has to do with an advanced degree in me, me, me. Advanced degree = more money and = around more colleagues with money = I can't get what I want without squeezing it out of him anymore. Sorry, but that's what I think.

I don't think this has much to do with the "stress" of advanced degress. I think it has to do with women having advanced degrees selfishness. Advanced degree = more money and = around more colleagues with money = Well, don't need him anymore..haha. Sorry, but that's what I think.
