Famous quotes containing the word career:

—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)

—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
“Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.”
