[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the women’s roles vs men’s roles poster.

The pp is correct:  I’m saying women aren’t always thinking about how to make the most money from a job. Which is largely the point.

Also, the hours in an industry will never change if there’s no women in them. Women going into a field changes the dynamics of an industry.

More women are going to law school and even med school, but there still aren’t enough women going to business school or into engineering or the hard sciences. There are still so few women in the c suite and on corporate boards. Some industries like corporate real estate are just utter boys clubs, but they make a shit ton of money.

Also, women should learn about personal finance. The basics are really not that hard.

Gets me frustrated when I see women picking career paths where money is almost an afterthought. [/quote]

Money was definitely an afterthought when I picked my career and I would do it again. I selected my career because it’s what I wanted to do, not because it would make me rich. I’ll never break 6 figures, even though I have an advanced degree. That’s okay. I’m comfortable, I’m happy, I’m challenged, and I’m proud of what I do. I want the same for my own children. There’s no reason for your frustration; there are more ways for women to show their strength than a paycheck.

I do agree that personal finance isn’t hard. (Do women not know of personal finance? I suspect many do.)[/quote]
