[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women should ask themselves what the traditional male equivalent is of whatever they’re traditionally considering, and consider that instead, because it’s usually more lucrative.

Example, teacher versus tenured college professor.
Nurse versus doctor
Cosmetologist versus dermatologist
Art teacher versus engineer
Admin assistant vs program manager

Obviously these are all very different jobs, but I hope you get what I mean.

Also, women should not shy away from things or jobs with numbers in them. Data science, business analysis, finance, corporate real estate, etc. I wish as many women were interested in business school as they are law school.

Lastly, I wish more women would run for office[/quote]

Teaching and nursing are stable, in-demand jobs with a lot of location flexibility; nursing can also provide a good lifestyle if you specialize (eg, anesthesia or certain types of NP). Also, you can't count on being a tenured professor.

There are many school districts where teachers make more than college professors. Many tenured professors don't make that much.[/quote]
my sister works in HR at a liberal arts college (that is not particularly "prestigious" nor in a large metro area) and told me they got 80 applications last fall for an tt English professor job. they start their first year assistant profs off at $58k. wild[/quote]
