Tampa must be different than NYC. Almost every woman I know waited until mid-late thirties to have their kids, after having firmly established their careers, and it worked for them. Some even waited until their early 40's and pulled it off. And they're much better parents for having waited I think. They know who they are, are more contented with themselves as most people are very anxious and insecure in their 20's; they were able to continue their work in different ways and can pick it up again as their kids get absorbed in school. They are attentive parents--in fact the only problem I see is that there is too much pressure on parents at least in this neck of the woods to schedule absolutely every possible benefit for their kids--art, chess, travel, etc--help them to be superbly well rounded at everything. There's a lot of pressure to have the best and the brightest. Men should wait, too, I think. They can even wait longer and pull it off. I know a few guys who had their first kid at age 50. These guys were stellar at their careers. Since they don't have a biological clock they can become parents when they choose. And they're loving it.
