Reading this made my morning. Then I remembered I'm a cynical curmudgeon. Women earn less than men; we all know this. So it occurred to me that a woman might pursue extended education to increase her chances of gaining employment and to command a larger salary, to counteract the prevalent and well-known marginalization of women in this area. It's a sore spot for folks married to patriarchy, so it is unsurprising that Time Magazine would rush to print a recent study which shows that FULL STOP women actually earn more than men. Don't worry yourself that these results only apply to single, childless women, under 30 who live in urban areas. There is one additional caveat in this article that goes unmentioned and the news of the increase in doctorates earned by women brought it all together for me.
In order to earn a proper salary that might rival the men in her community, a woman must possess significantly greater skill, experience and education. Heather Boushey beat me to the punch.
