Hoping to Avoid the Boredom of a Life in Business

While women in business fret about breaking through the glass ceiling, teenage girls don’t even want to be in the building. So we gather from a study commissioned by Simmons College School of Management and a businesswomen’s group called The Committee of 200. Polling and focus groups were conducted among kids in grades 7-12. Girls certainly don’t expect to sit back while a husband provides for them. Eighty percent believe they’ll need to make enough money “for me and my family,” and another 17 percent expect they’ll need to make enough to support themselves.
