I’d argue that the “sequence” should be examined at each step, not for a nebulous concept of success, but how each step expands or constrains life opportunities. The sequence also gives radically different outcomes for women than for men. In America, women can’t have a career, a marriage and a family all at the same time without making serious compromises in all three.

As a teacher, the 15 values are open enough that they can be taught in an inclusive manner. The success sequence thing is just a stupid oversimplification, I guess one could really dig into the correlation aspect but I doubt that there will be enough instructional time allowed.

If one of the success factors is not having kids before completing other items in the list, than wouldn’t access to birth control including abortion help keep kids on the success track?
