Another good reason (actually the only other I can think of, since I don't agree with women getting a job under normal circumstances) for a girl to study into something, is to sharpen their God given skills in preparation for whatever is in store. Who knows? If she's interested in the medical field, for instance, it may be that God has planned a doctor husband for her.
I agree, that is a good reason to get a degree. It is one of the factors for me as well. I am also in favor of women being homemakers and homeschooling their children. But I am not against women working, either from home, in a small business, or in a job (although working at home is preferable). Sometimes women need to earn their own living or supplement their husband's income. Not everyone gets married or has someone to provide their income, and I don't have a problem with single women or widows having careers. Or with married women supplementing their husband's income by working from home or running a home business. I think girls and women should prepare to be able to have a job or run a small business, just in case, even if they don't plan to have a career. It is useful to have a college degree or other skills, and be prepared for whatever might happen. We hope and plan to stay at home until we get married, marry a good husband that provides well, and live together until we get old, but it doesn't always happen quite as we plan. Either way, it is good to get a college degree, especially if we can do so efficiently and economically.
