I still don't believe that the women in the article made that kind of commitment though. The article made it sound like they just drifted into it due to peer pressure. I mean, if a sixteen year old thought it out and was financially and emotionally capable of looking after a child, then I wouldn't say anything. But making a pact with your friends? It doesn't sound like they thought it out at all.
(Thanks to certain TV shows, British universities today are bulging at the seams with students in forensic medicine or forensic chemistry.)
Yeah, same with our universities. I love watching shows like NCIS and CSI but I know that it's no more realistic than Robert Ludlum is at portraying the spy business!
ANU has so many students who want to end up in DFAT. Every second Arts/Law student wants to go and be a diplomat. Even if they wouldn't be suited.
I'm sane enough to realise that I'd be a horrible diplomat. I'm too fond of being honest. Too bad, because it does sound like a cool job!
