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!


maybe well educated women are too clever to sustain relations? maybe thats one of the reasons muslim women are opressed LOL

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.

Reposting cause I got a word wrong:
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.
