“Young men keep telling me they don't 'have it all' either. And they may have a point. But if you define 'having it all' as the opportunity to have a successful career and a family, I'd say this. When a man tells his coworkers he's going to have a child, no one asks him how he'll manage or if he'll be coming back to work.” IfsMenMayChildrenYoungAsksOpportunityCareersSuccessfulManageYoung ManComing BackBack To WorkCoworkerSuccessful Career Author:Anne-Marie Slaughter
“War affected my family a lot, and I was quite curious about it. I first went off to war in the early 90's as a journalist, partly out of curiosity and partly because I needed a career.

“[The career a young man should choose should be] one that is most consonant with our dignity, one that is based on ideas of whose truth we are wholly convinced, one that offers us largest scope in working for humanity and approaching that general goal towards which each profession offers only one of the means: the goal of perfection ... If he works only for himself he can become a famous scholar, a great sage, an excellent imaginative writer [ Dichter ], but never a perfected, a truly great man.” IfsMenShouldMeanIdeasYoungHumanityGoalCareersOffersDignityPerfectionConvincedProfessionExcellentYoung ManGreat MenScholarSageScopeImaginativeConsonants Author:Karl Marx
“The young man [Turgot] destined for an ecclesiastical career was placed within walls carefully designed to keep out all currents of new thought; his studies, his reading, his professors, his associates, all were combined to keep from him any results of observation or reflection save those prescribed: probably, of all means for stifling healthy and helpful thought, a theological seminary, as then conducted whether Catholic or Protestant, Jewish or Mohammedan, was the most perfect.” MenMeanYoungReadingPerfectResultsCareersStudyWallHealthyReflectionCatholicCurrentsObservationYoung ManHelpfulProfessorsAssociatesDestinedNew ThoughtTheologicalProtestantsStiflingSeminary Author:Andrew Dickson White
“a large percentage of bright young men and women locate the impetus behind their career choice in the belief that they are fundamentally different from the common run of man, unique and in certain crucial ways superior, more as it were central, meaningful - what else could explain the fact that they themselves have been at the exact center of all they've experienced for the whole 20 years of their conscious lives? - and that they can and will make a difference in their chosen field simply by the fact of their unique and central presence to it...” MenWayYearsHas BeensDifferentWholeFactsRunningYoungCertainChoicesBeliefDifferencesCommonBehindsCareersFieldsUniqueConsciousMen And WomenMeaningfulChosenSuperiorsYoung ManMaking A DifferenceCrucialPercentagesImpetusCareers Choices Author:David Foster Wallace
