re: women are now better educated than their husbands - still earn less

Shouldn't have gotten pregnant and taken off 9 months because others took up your slack and stole your promotion.

when I was at freshman orientation at UGA they told us our class was 66% female, and 34% male.

So, was it easy to ask a girl out?

To each his own. We love our son's daycare and he seems to really like it, too. He definitely gets more stimulation there than I could consistently provide him with at home.

It's called bullshite degrees.

If every woman on earth has a doctorate in "Transgender Studies" and only one man on earth has an Engineering degree... every woman on earth SHOULD earn less than the one man. Period.

Supply and demand. Simple. Yet apparently impossible for the Liberal mind to grasp.

Define educated.

A degree in liberal arts or women's studies?

Yeah, those bring in the cash.

Once again, it's an argument about career choices. 

If you have a doctorate in library sciences and your husband has a BS in chemistry and works for a large pharmaceutical company, then that's a valid explanation of why he makes more despite being "less educated". These studies are so fricking dishonest and they know it yet they push this myth anyway.

This. My sister has a degree in general studies while I obtained a degree in chemistry from the same school. I make considerably more than she does. Its just a fact some occupations pay more and if women are lagging in higher paying fields they will make less.

Define

Are we calling bachelor's in Flute performance more "educated" than 4 critical IT certifications?

Just as an example. I'd like to know the methodology of what's being called "educated".

I don't believe in the wage gap myth, fwiw.

Good. Because it IS a myth.

quote:

I mostly thought it was interesting that more wives are better educated than husbands than vice versa.

Like I said. While it is definitely true that more women have degrees than men..........I suspect when you start controlling for economically viable degrees/education.........the "gap" suddenly disappears. I already know that men are FAR more likely to get the traditionally high paying degrees.

I mean. I'm sorry. You show me 10 women with liberal arts graduate degrees and 8 men with engineering undergrads..........and I think we can relatively easily explain the pay gap in those groups.

I got the reason for the pay gap.

My penis.

My penis is making babies, making a woman quit her job.

Sorry, but my penis ain't sorry.

Education doesn't equal compensation. You would think these liberal colleges would tell their students this since you know, they are so intelligent and all. It was always funny listening to this flaming liberal professor I had talking about the rising cost of higher education. It was some serious mental balance beam gymnastics. He blamed the white bankers and the "authorities" for taking advantage of students with loans , yet would constantly fluff up the importance of his doctorate in sociology and urge students to pursue that path as well. He never once looked at it from the perspective that maybe his doctorate isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
