[quote=Anonymous][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]

The relevancy of your experience in the 1980s to 2025? I'm in my mid 40s, not 60s, and it is very different for women today. My own generation didn't face this misogynistic choice. [/quote]
