[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]

I’m a doctor and wish I had been a nurse.  Nursing was really what I wanted to do looking back on it.  I spend a lot more time with charts than I do with patients.  And really, the pay isn’t that much better considering the commitment I put in up front and the amount of responsibility I have when I am there.

The nurses I work with in the ED get paid ~ $90k for 36 hours/wk.  I work 30 hours/wk, which means that I am 0.6 FTE, and make ~$120k/yr.

I think some of the most fulfilled people I know in the med profession are the highly specialized nurses because they get to do a lot of the most rewarding specialized patient care--nurse midwives, for example.[/quote]
