My husband and I don't work in or really even associate with too many people in the coorporate rat-race. Its amazing to me that some of these people are so concerned with competition and financial super success even as it relates to their unborn children!

But I do think a Billy could still manage to survive what ever career path or lifestyle he chooses for himself, just as well as a Micheal can.
