I think maani got my point. I was referring to higher education, more specifically a university degree.
DS, there ARE a number of women who don't fully utilise thier education. True, I don't have any statistics to back it up but I made the statement by observing the people around me. For example, I had a teacher (female) who had a Masters degree in Psychology, but she was teaching Urdu to class 5. Now she doesn't "need" a Psych. degree to do that. Similar thing with an English teacher having a Chemistry degree. If the cost of her education could have been spent on something more productive, it would have been more beneficial to society.

Okay, let's consider this scenario. Say a person starts working at 25 and retires at 60. that's 35 years of working. A women may take, say, 5 years to raise kids, that brings it down to 30. A guy on the other hand, would have worked the full 35 years. Keeping in mind that not EVERY person in the state can be educated, we have to make some choices. Who do you think should be preferred?
