[quote=Anonymous]Every company I worked for 90 percent of jobs are just "cube dwellers" or jobs that just are not rewarding, this is men or women.

The women who live nears me who are doctors, work at rewarding non profits, lawyers etc all work.

The women who do repetitive no rewarding tasks dont. My wife did Credit card pricing. Yes she did speadsheets, updated prices, adjust card fees and sat in pricing meetings 20 hours a week then read long legal disclosures on pricing changes, then did print job and website review on pricing changes. It was boring tedious work that had to be done to perfection sitting in a cube 45 hours a week.

When my career finally took off a bit my annual bonus was her years salary, she was like I am not sitting in a cube missing my kids childhood for a year to make what you make in a day.

For her like many it was low pay, not rewarding work that did not help society

Guess what my job is not rewarding either but it pays better. And reason it paid better as with long hours some travel you could only did it with a stay at home spouse.  At my level that company only one person had a working spouse. I got paid an extra 150K a year for that job. So my wife would need to make 150K just to break even and with childcare and costs to work adn commute more like she have to make 200K a year to break even. [/quote]
