Obviously a small sample size, but to state the obvious, most of the majors where women are the majority aren’t worth much. The one exception is nursing, which is an important and difficult job. However, I have never seen any credible claim that male nurses make more than female nurses, and I do actually know nurses of both sexes in real life.

I’d be interested to see the same information on a national basis.

the vast majority of the “wage gap” story is a myth, elementary school teachers and social workers don’t make as much as engineers and accountants. even think about male and female doctors, male doctors are more likely to become surgeons while females are more likely to become part of a family practice, now guess which one gets paid more… but its the patriarchy fault!!!!
the statistics that support this are selecting certain aspects to reach the result they desire with the data.
the vast majority of people crying for equality today do not want equality, they was special privileged treatment.

Exactly. My son is pre-med and recently went to a “leadership” (NOT) conference that his football coach sent him too.

1) The conference was a PC joke.
2) Everyone at his round table discussion was a bull-shit liberal arts major.

So he says…… These people are idiots. Wasting money on BS majors with no hope for a real job. He, on the other hand is pursuing a B.S. which will open many doors.

Maybe because feminists claim theres rape culture on campus, one in three females sexually assaulted, its not safe for the wimminz (cant spell it with ‘man’ or ‘men’ in it) to go to the boys STEM classes.

Most of the fields where men have much higher enrollment in college are falling all over themselves to hire women. I work in a field that was once male dominated…i.e. 1960. Today it’s very close to 50:50 which is fine but now the woman lobby is saying there isn’t diversity in management. It’ll never end. Meanwhile over my career I’ve seen women lacking the talent of male peers get promoted due to this bullshit political correctness. it’s maddening.

Ann Landers used to say something to the effect that ‘most opportunities are disguised as hard work, which is why so few people recognize them.’ Hard work is something a lot of people avoid like the plague, since it usually requires hellish time commitments and curbs on one’s social life.

I have enough graduate level statistics to vaguely remember that if this analysis were repeated across about 30 similarly-sized universities, it would probably be a statistically valid analysis.

Still, the implication from just the one university is very clear. If a high-paying job is your objective, you should enroll in a STEM program (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). Non-STEM degrees are a dime a dozen and are basically worthless bullshit.

Finally, if women are really paid less than men, where are all the pay discrimination lawsuits against the big corporations? Perhaps the reason those lawsuits don’t exist is because big corporations actually pay women MORE than men. (I was a Director of Payroll for a Fortune 500 company with 100,000 employees, and know this to be true based on personal experience).

A few years ago, a customer showed up with her daughter who had been away at college and was home with her BA degree. The young lady told me that she hoped the economy would improve so that she could get a job in her field. I asked what her degree was and she said that she had a Bachelor’s in Social Justice.

I shit you not.

A Bachelor’s in Social Justice??? Social Justice???

You’re not shitting us?

That degree has to about as useful as a steaming pile of horseshit.

This poor country is in worse shape than I thought.

Generally, right brain jobs to women, left brain jobs to men. It’s been that way for 20,000 years.

It is so obvious. There is not much to comment about.

The women with the best gaps don’t have to worry about gender gaps. What a load of shit.

Persnickety, female Nurses earn more than male Nurses when all other factors are adjusted for. This is an established, well-known fact in Healthcare compensation circles.
