I find that college is a good thing for women. I know a lot of mothers who have gone to college after their husbands have died and were left with very little to go on. however if a mother has her degree in anything it is a very useful tool for homeschooling your children or getting a job to support the family you now have to be the bread winner for.

This is absurd. A degree does not play any real role in homeschooling. Even if the woman suddenly had to get a job, she could do what most Traditional Catholic men do anyway and go into self-employment, something that does not require a degree.

He didn't give us "free will" to do evil? Why is it whenever we hear discussions of women wanting to do things that are wrong we hear about "free will."

it is not intrinsically evil there is no law of man or God saying women are forbidden to serve their country.

To clarify that point, SpiritusSanctus, I meant to stand up for The Faith IN college. I did not state that clearly.

I hate college, and true, people should not "put off" getting married. All I'm saying is that we need to find the best school we can because not everyone finds the right mate or not at 18.

My friend is a Teacher - she stayed at home to home school and is happy. Yet, she will be able to get a job, PT or FT as needed, if her husband dies, gets sick, etc., and when the children are grown. Why? To eat. Otherwise, well, we do accept our crosses from God, but, He has a plan for all of us.

We should not pigeon-hole every women into one mold. That is all I am saying.

No, no, no. The Church teaches that women are not to work outside the home unless absolutely necessary. And even if they must, they should stay away from jobs that are meant for mean, and especially jobs that put them in an ocassion of sin.

The main reason young women go to college is to "have fun" and because they're told to do it, and shamed into not doing it. The sad reality is that even the most ostensibly traditional girls end up being drunken party girls - and don't even try to kid us into believing most of them are chaste. The career aspect is clearly secondary for most of them. Indeed, those that intend to marry, but have a career first, are typically going into jobs and displacing would be bread earners when they're at the height of their fertility.

In 50 years since college education has become the norm for women, what has happened to values about marriage, family and sex?

They've been destroyed. Literally so gone that even most Trads don't follow them, despite all the lip service.

College is really not necessarily that useful for finding work. Being a woman though, and trying to displace men from careers and positions that used to go for bread-winners, is useful for finding a career, because women are favored.
