A convo with the grand daughter of grandma last night: Her:I am happy coz I am working now as a teacher in an elementary school..I am teaching the kids.. Me:oh..congratulations..but how much the salary for teachers here in Riyadh..π π Her:I think 4000 riyals.. Me:oh...that's good for you...but you know..I think it's useless for girls here to attend college... Her:why? Me:its because after you got married..you are not allowed to work anymore..you will just stay in the house until you get old...you cannot even buy a Car for yourself coz it's not allowed for women to drive...and much more is..you're not allowed to walk alone without companion.. so it's better if ladies will just attend high school..or even just elementary.. the important is you know how to write and read...π Her:(laughing)..yeah..you're right...but we still need to attend college..in case our marriage won't work and the guy will leave us..at least we have a degree to find a job and continue with our life as being single and independent...or much worst if the guy won't support our kids.... Me:well..you have a point but still most of you are not getting divorce..just the guy marrying another woman again... Her:yeah..a couple cannot get a divorce easily if they are cousins...so they will just add another woman...
