This is what the movie, Departed, hinted at. And I think I heard it somewhere else..

It can work for and against you. Before you are married or have children, you are able to dedicate much more time to your work. But, I also think that once you have married and started a family, it brings a lot of stability into your life, and motivates you to be the best that you can be so you can provide a nice life for your family.

Depends on the sex of the person. With men, it shows that they are stable. However, many employers are reluctant to hire women with children because they know the mother will be absent a lot while the children are young. Also, many women who work and then have children don't return after the child's birth. Probably it doesn't affect most places but those employers who hire professionals have put a lot of time, money & effort into a person & don't want to lose them.

I would say that it does because one who is married with children is seen as more settled and responsible than a single person. To an employer, it would seem as though you had more responsibility and would have more of a vested interest in advancing in your job.
I know that when my first child was born, I suddenly realized that life wasn't just about me anymore, and I needed to work harder than ever to provide for the family.

No, it doesn't. If anything the reality of having another person to help and be responsible for, makes you less of a candidate for advancement. This is because with children, you are more likely to call off due to childcare issues, or sickness of the child, and from the child. Having a spouse can also take time away from a demanding career, as you are less likely to perform overtime, or even 100% because of emotional difficulties.
Singles, without children have always made better employees for these particular reasons...more likely than not they have no life outside of work.

I don't know about that, but I do know that careers often impact family life more. That's why most of todays kids have no direction or dicipline. I fell bad for the children of dual income families.

For a man, maybe.
For a woman, no. A good employer knows that a woman should be focused on raising her children and loving her husband first and foremost.

Marriage only benefits men in their careers, makes employers think they are more stable.
Women, marriage is percieved as a hindrance, because they are supposed to be caregivers and all that bull crap.

Definitely, because staying at work is less stressful and annoying than going home.
