Me too but it's not like that's her only option to support herself. She has a science Ph.D, she could even go teach highschoolers science if she can't get a tenured position at a college. That gives insurance and will keep a roof over one's head.

But that goes specifically against her priorities; she was supposed to work as a research assistant or a teacher, but that is a nine-to-five job, and she's homeschooling her kids. Doing Big Bang allows her a lot more flexibility, which is especially important now that she's divorced and has primary custody.

So which issue is more important? Is the sexism on the show so awful that she's supposed to ignore the myriad reasons she decided to homeschool and use attachment parenting to form a deep bond with her two little boys? The woman has defined herself as a mother first, and she is not and never will be the only mother to keep a demeaning job if that's what's better for her kids.

I listened to a live Star Talk show (podcast) (Neil deGrasse Tyson) on which she was a guest and she shared that she does teach homeschooled students, too. I can't recall if it was science or math but the kids were geeked to have her be their teacher.
