in the office introduced them at a
social occasion so he wasn't' aware
of her job. Weeks later when he
became knowledgeable of what she
did for a living their relationship
changed. She says it changed be­
cause he perceived her status was
higher than his and the male ego (his,
at any rate) couldn't handle it. If his'
job had been more important but she
merely got paid more the same itua-
tion would exist because most men
determine their worth by their value
in the workplace. Powell says she's
determined to hold out until she
meets a man like her brothers, one
who doesn't equate his worth with a
job title. "Just because one makes
more money than the other shouldn't
matter," she said, desiring a relation­
ship based on more important things
than money �nd social s�nding. Dr.
Powell, you deserve a special place
at the table of role models for our
children.
