Re: Regardless of your current status....
Ever wonder why women get so belligerent when the issue of their working and what effect it has on their children they've pawned off on day care at 6 weeks of age?! It's based mostly on guilt! Some, understandably, have to work. Most don't. It's one of the great oxymorons of the PC era... professional career mom. Can't do both effectively.
sorry to get off track.
As for the image of the profession. I've said it many times. *All* that matters is perception. Overweight, sloppy uniforms, swearing or not just acting the part. It all chips away at the image/perception. I know how little some make, but that doesn't mean you can't buy a can of shoe polish (anyone ever use that stuff any more?), keep your weight reasonable and your shirt tucked in neatly.
my 2 cents
I think I hear the sarcasm... Hopefully, that's a staged photo. It makes me sick! Any woman placing herself in that situation is horribly selfish. She needs to be with those kids 7 days a week. Day-working moms are bad enough, but being away from home 3-5 days at a time would be abusive. I don't care if anyone thinks this is chauvanistic - it's a fact!WrightAvia said:like that one that shows the single mom in her airline pilot style uniform on the wing of a senica, with her childeren standing next to her. Good ad by the way...sue the ex-husband for flight school money to move into an exciting career, where being at home alot and making tonnes of money right out of the starting gate is a happening thing!
