Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Utilizing interviews with 37 law students and 42 business students, I examine the expectations and strategies of elite professional students to dilemmas posed by the balance of work and family. Most of these men and women want children, and support a strong family-oriented gender ideology in which students claim that family is more important than career. Moreover, many also subscribe to what Hays refers to as �intensive mothering� � a belief that parents should spend an enormous amount of time, physical and emotional energy, and money raising their children. However, the reality of the lives of these students questions the possibility of such a commitment to family and children. The respondents plan for careers with greedy institutions with long hours, commutes, and travel. Although women spend more time thinking and talking about these decisions than male students do, neither men nor women engage in strategies directed at accomplishing them (for example, by discussing these with prospective spouses, negotiating with current partners, querying companies about family-friendly policies, etc.). I conclude by explaining how preexisting gender and social class ideologies are altered by elite professional schooling, which reinforce work-oriented schemas but do nothing to reinforce a family schema.
