Why do men end-up in dangerous yet good paying jobs? Because testosterone. Most young men are more willing to work a shit job if they can get good money than most women who value quality of life.

- arkh 10y ago> I posit having more "testosterone" means standing up for what's right even if it means not getting the highest paying position. I've lived a long time with very low T. So I don't posit: I experienced how my decision process changed when getting back to normal. I just have to stop some meds and go back down to enjoy less impulsivity and a lot more security based decision making. > Right working as a developer at Uber with a high paying 6 figure job is now called a "shit job". Shittier than a simple 9-5 job in some corporation where you can have a good work-life balance, less stress bu less money. > I remember when collecting trash and mining was considered a "shit job" They still are. And still have a high percentage of men.
