And yet no one talks about the gross disparity of women to men in nursing, social work, childcare, or cosmetic sales. Why is that?

And yet no one talks about the gross disparity of women to men in nursing, social work, childcare, or cosmetic sales.
Why is that?
- dozzie 10y agoBecause those are not profitable professions that can be done by almost anybody. Unlike programming and managing people.
- sheraz 10y agoHuh? Is this a joke? Please provide the relevant /sarcasm or emojis because you can't be serious, right?
- dozzie 10y agoEver heard of cynicism? The thing is, programming and managing people are professions that don't need any training that is difficult to get (unlike mechanical engineering, civil engineering, or medicine), don't need any special credentials (unlike law, medicine, or various sciences), and don't need manual skills nor physical force (unlike construction jobs), so the sole education is not a show-stopper for entering them. On the other hand, the professions you mentioned are not generally well paid or especially respected, even though they (most of them) are very important. A cynic could draw some conclusions about today's equality only working in one direction.
