My mom works in the finance industry which isn't something that I want to do.
My dad has his own business as a plumber/welder/electrician/whatever, and although I know a lot about that stuff (lol, I knew how to fix broken faucets when I was ten :| ), I don't want to do that either.
I have been extremely interested in medicine since I was eight, and I really want my career to be related to that. |

That's not necessarily a good thing, because then we get 56 year-old hags finally deciding that they want a kid, which is a breeding ground for all sorts of complications for the mother and the child. I'm sorry, but at that age, your kid-having train has long gone by.
I'm not saying 30 is too old to have a healthy baby, but the longer you trade off having a career for having a child, the higher is the risk of the baby having birth defects.
I'd personally want to have a kid before I turn 30. I'm almost 22 now, so I still have lots of time for that goal. I figure if I'm going to bring another life into this world, it's better not to play dice with these things and try to make sure my kid will be perfectly healthy, even if it means my career taking a bit of a dive in its early stages. A big part of being a parent is learning to sacrifice things for your kid, and your perfect career will probably be one of the first things taking a hit. Plus, raising children is both a mentally and a physically demanding task, one that pretty much lasts for 20 years, and I know I'll be able to handle it better when I'm younger than older. |

My father attemped to become a doctor but that didnt work out(although doctors run in my family). He basically went onto health care management and later into consulting where he has now run his own business for years. Its basically there for me to take over if I chose to , but really im much to young to do what he does. He deals with high end health care positions(doctors, presidents, ceo's etc) and really you gotta be a certain age to get some respect from most of those guys(who are all older anyways).
Plus I dont think im cut out for doing consulting(head hunter to some of you). Just not my thing. It takes a certain kind of person to do that kind of work.
My mom got a degree in geography or something and did some social work for a while but then became a stay at home mom.
I have an interest in biology and the medical field but opted to take a different route. Engineering.
Both my parents are university graduates(so im following ) them that way.
probably shouldve tried to become a doctor lol money. |

I'm aware of the risks. I may not want to have kids at all. And my reason for not having any isn't because of my career.
My mom had me when she was 33.

I've met a few girls in Canada who feel the same way, and while I don't understand that decision at all, I'm not going to push this any further cause I know it doesn't lead to good places, lol.

The career thing I only mentioned cause I remember reading in newspaper or TIME that the women's equality movement meant that more and more women are focusing on their careers more and more, which is pushing the age at which they have kids further and further back. |

| Neither of my parents have a university education, so they have influenced me in the sense that they were very supportive of every aspiration I had as a teenager, and even now as I consider going back to school for either law or MBA. I'm very grateful for their support and understanding of how important education is. |
