The only lagging point is how much women are underpaid compared to men for the same position.


Not True To Date: We may even reach a point where women make more then men, and that is highly likely if women continued to outpace men in academic excellence.


The Personal:
I had the man with less education working for me making 11K more a year. It was his first 'marketing' job (previously he did something like IT support) and I inherited him. Did I hold him accountable? Nope. I held the man I reported into and the twinkie HR admin accountable for that mistake. But was it a mistake? Nope. Happens all the time around here . . . I'm just the rare woman to point out it 'looks bad' - Black Female Manager making less than a white male employee . .. you don't want me running to Black Enterprise or Working Woman Magazine with this do you (we get accolades from them each year).


The High Level:

This is happening, in part, because college degrees are seen as more important for the career success of women than they are for men. More than three-fourths of American say that women need to go to college in order to succeed, while only 68 percent thought the same for men, the same Pew study found.

Smart women know that they need a Masters Decree in Biochemistry to be an Assistant Manager at Burger King. Her 10th grade drop out male counterpart gets handed the General Managers positoin and more money on a silver platter.
