Having Kids is for people with Unsatisfying Careers? - Bilge

His opinion is that having children is a great thing to do if you have an unsatisfying career. I guess its his opinion that a fulfilling job fills your life with more meaning and without that job, children can provide you with a similar sense of purpose. As a person with kids, I thought about that statement for a moment to reflect on my own choices. I have an OK job/career, but I have never really defined myself by what I do for money but rather the choices I make elsewhere in my life. My relationships, Hobbies, and Kids are where my value lay. What do you think?
