'Valid' being a subjective term?
I dunno. Maybe I am an education snob
(I would not call a degree in homeopathy valid either, for example).
Certainly being a homemaker/SAHM is a valid, worthwhile, and important job. But a job for which there is
degree required or given
....I don't think so.
I do think it is good that both boys and girls take home ec classes in school...not only cooking but how about how to set up a household budget and other financial tips....how to paint a room, change the oil in your car, change a thermocouple on your water heater, look after a lawn, how to grow a garden and canning, etc.
You know, truly useful things.
