[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]
Truth be told, women know they are going to be mother's some day and want to have children. The days of being a happy stay at home mom are gone. You need to be independently wealthy or marry a rich jerk/idiot.
So women want careers that will give them the option/freedom to love who they wish.
Today's economy doesn't care about families. Someone will need flexibility to take the kids to Dr appointments and be able to leave work early enough to pick up the kids from daycare.
There are not that many professionals that will allow a woman to have the job flexibility, 40h work week, low stress, opportunity to work part time, or an opportunity to stay at home for a few years and return to the job. All this with a pay check decent enough to pay for your housing, children's day care expenses and and whatever else is needed for health and happiness

Perhaps pharmacy? IT is rewarding, but it is difficult to get into and returning to it after being absent would be challenging.
Worst for women are anything to do with social work, law enforcement, doctor, law.

If you are fortunate enough to have someone pay for your college education then you can do just about anything. For the rest prospects are dim you are just going to have to accept it that you will not get what you want and your talents are most likely going to be wasted[/quote]
