Adulting Podcast

Sometimes, I wish my husband was out of school, solidified in his career, so I could be a stay-at-home dog mom. I would just opt-out of the economy, out of the rat race completely. I quickly snap out of it, but not before wondering if women less likely to find fulfillment from their careers than men. Is it just me? It turns out that in a world where everyone's lives should be improving due to technological advancements and economic prosperity, women are actaully reporting lower levels of well-being. What's up? Is it the rat race, or is it what we do after work that is making the difference? Turns out, the answer may be our relationships, our social capital. The Adulting Podcast is your weekly resource of, by, and about millennials and others who are trying to figure out this adulthood thing. I cite these pieces in this episode The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness and Money, Gender and Job Satisfaction by Catherine Rampell.
