    I would say that rising a kid is going to teach you many things you would never learn at school, and those social skills can make a difference in job interviews. If you're able to take care of a family then you certainly are a good team player.

      Thanks, man. That's a good point.

    Odds are it won't make a huge difference - everyone has a life to live outside of work. Even if it does cause some career stagnation, any decrease in your career because of having kids is going to be a good thing. Absolutely nobody gets old and then says, "I wish I worked more and spent less time with family."

      Yeah, that resonates with me.

      Value-wise, I would describe myself as more family-oriented than career-oriented.

      I guess I am just worrying about finding a decent job along the road, also to provide for said family.

      Thanks.

    I wish I had kids earlier. More than 1.
