<p>I think that if this is just examined anecdotally, you can end up with a wide variety of different “pictures.” Where we live, most of the SAHM’s are non-degreed. Of course if I just look in <em>my</em> circle of friends, then most of them ARE degreed. As a woman with two degrees, I married a non-degreed man, yet HE Is the one who works in our family, and I am the one who has stayed home. I think it totally depends upon the area of the country (and even individual communities)…it is terribly hard to generalize from one neighborhood, town, or even larger city. ~berurah</p>
