in my city at least and the rest of india but i can talk about my city in particular.
A guy is supposed to be earning big bucks. No matter how you do it, you just need big bucks. Top marks if you are a "government employee" because that signals the family will always have food on the table.
This also means, by the time you are 23-25-28, a guy needs to land something big or else he must remain a bachelor (this is still traditional, family does the arranging and finding a partner thing) .
Girls OTOH, have 2 classes. 1 where groom expects the bride to be "housewife, not going to work after marriage) so these ladies just finish studies and "wait".
2. where the guys expect their wives to be "working" so the ladies have developed this hack where they work, as literal slaves in primary schools as teachers earning a pittance but "yep, she is working" checkbox gets ticked.
its a hopeless thing really
- klipt 3y agoIf a government job signals a man is a good provider, a teaching job probably signals a woman likes (and is good at) dealing with children.
- 2Gkashmiri 3y agogovernment jobs are like 3% of the population if you are stretching it. that means the rest of the adult population realistaically does not have a shot at government jobs but it is still the criteria. "a teaching job probably signals a woman likes (and is good at) dealing with children." i gave a primary school teacher as an example. it is equally okay for the same person to do bookkeeping/assistant/data entry operator. the point for these people is to say "the lady is doing a job" not what or how much is she earning. edit: "If a government job signals a man is a good provider," nope. it signals that the person (guy/girl) got lucky.
