I've just got a job. It's the first step on a long and difficult path to the career I want. I want to be a solicitor, and I've just got a job as a paralegal.
My DP finishes his PhD this time next year and is considering his options. He will probably have to move institutions, and may even go abroad. I would like him to get a job where we live now, but understand this may not be possible, and would be willing to move as long as I stay in the legal sector and we're both clear about this.
Two weeks DP's male friend took it on himself to suggest that a career break is an option for me so DP can move around the UK or even abroad.
What 'career'? A month in a job does not constitute 'a career' worthy of a break? Why does moving mean I HAVE to give up my career? The feminist in me is fuming that a career break is an option for me, but not DP!
Who the jeffing feck does he even think he is giving wrong-headed advice like this?
Every now and again I remember and I get annoyed all over again.
Harrumph.

...about being annoyed about being advised I could take a career break by DP's friend?
