I believe these are typical professions/jobs for a woman because they follow along with our tendancy to nurture and care for othes...qualities that I believe God designed for a woman to have. But does that mean that if a woman feels called to a different area of work she should not be allowed to? Of course it will depend on her husband if she is married and whether he feels comfortable with his wife working outside the home. But if she is not married are there certain professions a woman should not go into? Of course...just like there are certain professions that a man should not go into, but I am thinking more along the lines of typical professions and corporate professions. I do not think that she should be limited to typical "woman jobs". If she were to feel a calling to be an auto mechanic even though that is something a woman does not typically do I say all the more power to her.
I know this is a topic that not everyone will agree on, but it is one that I feel strongly about being a single woman needing to support herself.
Blessings in Christ,
I am inclined to agree with what you have said. I am a hairstylist and am self employed. Being that, I am able to still support my family and stay at home as well. My husband has been in school for basically the last 5 years and I have supported our family the whole time. For 4 years I worked in a corporate salon and worked about 5 hrs a day in the evenings around my husbands school schedule. Now that I am self employed I work 3 days a week and then am off 4. There aren't many jobs where I could support our family and only work the hours/days that I do. I also think that it's good for women to work if it's a good option for them when single/married. I think the best is for women to have the ability to work ie a trade or degree and then be able to make the decision to work or not. We never know what might happen in life not saying I always look on the negative side but just being realistic. Ok I guess I'm done with my mini-book! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI don't think working far away from your loved ones is natural for anyone. It is not something we have done for most of history. A farmer and his wife might have divided their work a certain way but for many tasks they worked together and if not they were never far from each other. If a man had a workshop it was in the same house or on the same property as his house and more often than not there were some tasks that his wife took part in.
ReplyDeleteToday it is not possible for all of us to work from home but I do not see it as more wrong for a woman than a man
A couple friends and I are starting up a new website/blog for set-apart sisters to connect and share. We'd love you to be a part of it! We are also looking for guest bloggers. Blessings, Hannah Rose
