[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to Bankrate, median at 25 is $58,500, and will rise up to peak at age 44, for which (for bachelor degree holders) the median is $80,000. Of course, the medians are STILL significantly higher for males, and for Asian and white males in particular.

Because women drop out to have kids or specifically pursue lower jobs / lower ranks for family-life balance. That drags down the average for women like nothing else does. There is nothing new about this. It's not some kind of cabal keeping women "down."[/quote]

Because the have to make a choice. I worked Big four and my Senior Partner who was also my mentor was a wonderful lady around 58 years old. She told me when she made manager at PwC her path was to work like dog to make senior manager than more like a Dog to get Partner. Or since firm mainly men back then to as she said "find a horse to hitch her buggy too" meaning as she put it a Male Senor Manager on Partner track of a rising young star at a client. She could not to both back then as Big Four in the 1980s was 55-60 hours a week minimum for 7-10 years to make Partner from a new manager.

She did make Partner but she told me I dont know if worked it. A few of her friends bailed at 27 and married a 30 year sr Mgr who did make Partner and their life was big house in Surburbs and country clubs. She added either is a huge gamble. I could have worked like a Dog never made Partner or jumped off path and be lead on and no ring. She said a huge decision the women all had to make between 26-28 back in the 1980s           [/quote]
