Career advice

[Allan from Fallbrook]

4826: You hit the nail on the head. Back in my corporate days, I worked for a very large insurance broker. It was a production-driven culture, with the big producers the stars of the show. I was a CFO at the time, and even I knew where the line was when it came to pushing these guys.

The middle managers may have had the title, but no real power came with it. We had several downsizings following a merger, and the middle managers were the first to go. The sales force/producers were the first protected, and for good reason: They were the real reason behind the acquisition in the first place.

I don’t think what Casca/PD wrote is filth, by the way. Might be inaptly stated, but it certainly bears consideration, especially at your earning level, age and point in career. Given the statistics on marriage and divorce, you need to make provisions here as well.

I don’t get all this cynicism. Most people know marriage is a crap shoot in this day and age. Does that mean you guys should scare the OP away from the woman he chose? If he’s smart enough to make the income he’s making, he should be smart enough to choose his women wisely. Do you men need to hold his hand?

It’s not always the woman’s fault. I married an asshole. I suffered. It’s pretty obvious Casca has been taken to the cleaners, hence the bitterness.

Why is it that women react so viciously when a man simply states the facts of life vis marriage in our culture? The truth is that when you slide that ring on her finger, you’ve just signed over a tremendous amount of decision making power over your future and your wealth, without benefit of legal counsel. I know many men who pay alimony. I have yet to meet a woman who does.

They say you never really know a woman until you meet her in court. “Asshole” is a mighty nasty word for a benefactor who sends you a check every month.
