Kate Middleton should have had a job.

[MoralDefective]

AIBU to be bemused and a bit dissapointed that after years of expensive education that Kate Middleton has never had a proper job.
What a shame that an apparently intelligent young woman has spent the last (7?) years since university seemingly waiting to get married.
It makes me wonder why she went to university in the first place.
Such a waste of opportunities and good fortune.

im not being mean,well not to kate anyway

agree smacks of jealousy

oh threads ike this do make me laugh

Making me chuckle too

Most university education is wasted because it surplus to requirement and totally unwarranted.

This young woman is about to undertake the biggest job imaginable. 24/7, for the rest of her life.

And for all those naysayers who claim the monarchy cost us money ... bollocks! They generate more than they spend.

And I wouldn't want their existence. Would you?

But that's why I'm happy to call myself a feminist - because it IS about choice. So what if other people misinterpret it - that's not feminism's fault!

She's just secured the best job offer in the country. Jealous much?

To all those stating she should get a proper job what actually defines a proper job ? What is aa proper job?
Secondly saying she has wasted her education is ridiculous! How many people do degrees and end up with a different job than what they were originally planning ? Why divert all attention to kate ?
Also instead of finding these petty reasons to have a pop at her why dont you just come right out and say your jealous of her and wish you had a piece of her life? That would be more honest!

I mean I must agree with some of. These other posters I wouldn't like the job she will have because it would be so stressful and the crap she gets thrown at her would be so hard to deal with.. Though wouldn't mind a few of the perks :) oo vintage champagne, luxury breaks and a clothing allowance to die for to name but a few xxxx:)

poor kate,i dont fancy her next job much,imagine her choices will be seriously limited,when the kids come along dont think she will be able to bring them up as her and wills will want,other people mapping out your life

yes maybe their marrage and life will be more "normal" than most royals but seriously a huge role to fill

think her education will and has stood her in good steed,dont see how its wasted

god leave the girl alone

Doe's it really matter?..

YABU. Your argument is dangerously close to 'why bother educating women if 'all' they are going to do is stay home and raise children'

I don't give a stuff what she has been doing really so long as she hasn't been clogging up the dole queue without good reason. But to say it's a waste of her expensive education is a red herring. When you go to school somewhere like Marlborough it's more about being with the 'right kind of people' than getting the a good education. And it was clearly money well spent for her parents wasn't it!

Diana worked pre- marraige didn't she?

Yes Diana worked in a nursery school before she was engaged, one of the nursery school chidlren was her bridesmaid

if i was photographed every time i left the house i wouldn't have time for a job either. gym/hair/nails - that all takes time.

anyway, producing a catalogue for their party business takes a huge amount of work. maybe she wasn't doing much of it, but don't underestimate it.

she was hounded out of the accessories buyer job by the paps.

she was hounded out of the sisterhood team (girls charity fundraising team)

so leave her alone. and no, i wouldn't want what she has signed up for.

I quite like Kate Middleton. She's georgeous, fun, frivolous, normal and will fit in with that lot.

However, I think she's a bit of a lightwieght compared to Diana who was a primary school teacher/assistant. I hope she does lots for charity.

I'm not a royalist but I'm really happy for them. I am a romantic at heart!

I'm jealous of her hair though!

Dunno if it's already been said on here, but... Kate Middleton'e education has been money incredibly well spent. It bought her a prince.

Prince Wills wouldn't have married a state school alumna would he?

Middleton's

I feel bad for saying she's a lightwieght now. It must be awful to be hounded. Anyway; I think it's good news.

Diana didn't leave school with a single o'level and worked as a nursery assistant and lived in a flat her father paid for, so how does kate become a light weight when she has finished university and left with a degree and worked int he family business.

Diana was a lovely young lady and so is Kate, they are different but not one better than the other

I think that Kate Middleton's History of Art degree is probably equivalent to Diana Sloane Ranger's nursery school assistant in another generation.

I don't think for a second that Kate's position was easy and I quite understand why she didn't pursue a career full guns ahead. But she could have done a few more horizon-broadening degrees / travel...

Katie wears a weave!
