The Duggars' conservative Christian faith stresses the importance of the patriarchy and as such, the Duggar women are encouraged to take on the role as housewives who view their husbands as authority figures. Michelle Duggar herself is a stay-at-home mom and homeschooled all her 19 children. In Touch Weekly says Michelle was even spotted at a conference handing out flyers with a rule about how women should obey their husbands. In a blog post from 2015, Michelle also shared what she called her "Marriage Advice for Newlyweds," writing "... you are the only one that can meet that special need that he has in his life for intimacy. You're the only one... So when you are exhausted at the end of the day... don't forget about him because you and he are the only ones who can have that time together."
Being the perfect housewife and fulfilling all your husband's needs probably doesn't leave a lot of time for work outside the house. So while Jill, the second-oldest daughter, is a certified midwife, and Jinger dabbles in photography, it appears the girls don't have full-time jobs (both Jessa and Joy-Anna are a stay-at-home moms). And because all of the girls are homeschooled, they may have a challenging time entering the job market anyway (via Romper).
Cheat Sheet says the practice of becoming a stay-at-home mom extends to the other Duggar daughters-in-law Anna, Kendra, and Lauren. But just because they don't hold full time jobs, that doesn't mean the Duggar girls are money-averse. They most likely earn decent paychecks for appearing on Counting On, and they are also considered social influencers because they are part of a famous family.
But things may be different with Abbie, who is a certified nurse.
