University likely to lead to marriage for women
Going to university is likely to lead to marriage according to a study from Australia’s Monash University.
Contradicting the myth that highly educated women are more financially independent, the study found that 61% of degreed women between 30 and 34 were married compared to 53% of those without college or university experience.
This marks a change from the same study performed a decade earlier than found no difference in marriage rates between the two groups.
The study, as reported by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), made no mention that institutes of higher learning also facilitate a great environment for meeting life partners.

Love of job related to culture
A recent Harris Interactive poll has uncovered some cultural connections to one's feeling about their job.
- Generations: 53% of Baby Boomers love their job while only 37% of Generation X said they love their job. On the other hand, 19% of Generation X hate their job while only 7% of Baby Boomers claimed to hate their job.
- Marital: only 29% of those that have never been married love the job while 50% of those that are married love their job. When asked if they would like to immediately let, 24% of never-married employees said, “yes” as compared to only 9% of married employees.
- Regional: loyalty seems to increase as one moves to the west. In the Northeast only 39% love or like their job while 48% of those in Western states either love or like the job.
- Economic: 49% of employees paid at affluent levels ($75,000 in the survey) love their job while only 36% of those earning less than $35,000 love where they are working.
