All, if you read my blog regularly at all, please check out Penleope Trunks article from yesterday’s Boston Globe.  Keep in mind, I originally saw this in hard copy – it was on the front page of the Career Section.  Before I go into a complete tear, I will say up front that I can not argue her scientific points regarding a women’s fertility.  Obviously your chances are better when you are younger.

That said, I can not believe I read this on the front page of the Career Section.  I can not.  This subhead sets of fire crackers in my very being:

Women eager to have children need to direct career drive toward mating

Really?  Any particular industry open to this???  Last time I checked, you had to put in your time in order to get to a salary comfortable enough to take a pay cut to leave and go have a child.  I will blog on this more later today.
