Short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video titled "Women may regret prioritizing career over family." In this clip (July 30, 2022), Jordan Peterson argues that prioritizing career over family is a mistaken lesson given to many young women and that family becomes increasingly important with age; a second speaker reflects on feeling fortunate in their early 30s relative to peers with children. The exchange emphasizes long-term social/emotional costs of foregoing family (e.g., loneliness after 45) and Peterson's personal valuation of family over career as he aged.

Most young women are taught badly that the most important thing that they'll do in their life is their career and that's simply not true. It's not true for most people and certainly not true for most women.
I feel like I've got through my early 30s without almost luckily when I look at what my friends have to deal with with their children, I almost feel a little bit blessed. What do you say to that?
Well, I would say that it starts to get pretty lonesome in life after 45 if you don't have a family, you know, and so it's easy to consider the utility of an intense career that to me what I've experienced in my life, although I've had a very productive career and a very interesting career, it's definitely been the case for me that my family has been more and more important to me as I've got older. And I don't think that that's an uncommon.
