Family and/or Career

We all have different goals, experiences, and beliefs which help us determine as women whether we will pursue a career, focus solely on raising a family, or balancing the two. Thrown into the mix are also the various social and professional environments which may help or hinder us from realizing that personal decision. How do you, as women living in your various locations, feel about your opportunities to choose for yourself whether you pursue a career, have a family, or do both? What are/were some of the obstacles? Do those obstacles still exist? Was the choice difficult or easy? Are you happy with your current decision, or are you still in the process of deciding?
