It's interesting to note that (unless I missed something) all the struggling ambitious 20-somethings interviewed for the article are women. (I don't include Ross Perlin, who was interviewed not because he's struggling but because he wrote a book on the subject.) Is this a coincidence, or is it part of a broader trend? If the latter, it suggests that the problem may be even worse than it looks. Such ambitious careers arguably cost young women more than they cost young men, since women use up a scarce resource (peak fertility) not sacrificed by their male peers.
