I am glad I disregarded his advice, although it took me a BA in fine arts before I found my career. Today, althoug the architecture schools register more than 50% female students, the profession has less than 20% licensed female architects. What is going on? I think it is bigger than father's sharing their roles with their daughters. Many of the women I have met who are successful in their careers, state that it was both of their parents encouragement to be what they wanted to be. I too am looking forward to continued research on the professions and the mentoring father's can give to their children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676903776300189961.post-11353216272254523032009-02-26T21:43:00.000-05:002009-02-26T21:43:00.000-05:00My daughter took one swing at following in my foot...My daughter took one swing at following in my footsteps - going up to the campus newspaper and writing her first story onto the front page. But then she decided against it - and I have to admit I'm glad she did, given the way the newspaepr biz is going.Tim Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13388899139645893860noreply@blogger.com
