Younger women in junior high seem to want to be house wives and have kids,
Then in high school they start to want to make money and stuff,
Then in uni/college they almost all want to be workers and think the housewife thing is no good for them
Then after a few years working, they almost all go back to their junior high school ideals lol
I could go on stereotyping as age increases, but that's about right for the topic
OK.. perhaps you might have a point.

Is that really a Japanese thing though?

Growing up in New Zealand I would say the pattern is the same.
