You were so close at the end there…. Now ask yourself why women don’t choose a career in IT? (Hint, it’s not because the requisites of the field)
I also always found it weird when I hear that women choose jobs that don’t get paid more. As opposed to people asking why are womens jobs have been historically devalued.
Because jobs are paid not by how valuable they are to society but by how much profit they generate for their employers.
Not profit, but how hard the role is to fill. More supply, less demand in terms of salary.
Teachers are in short supply and get shit pay.
Because men and women have different preferences? How is this a problem? Should men and women like the same things?
