my wife works in public health, a field that seems to be 90% female. My wife's office is much more gender skewed than mine.
If doctors didn't make so much $, I am convinced that women would make up the majority of doctors.
- binarysoul 16y agoMy wife is in medical school, and getting a masters in public health, at the same time. Meanwhile, many of her friends have dropped out of MBA programs, or stopped working full-time to be pregnant / get married / be a home-maker. However, there are more females in medical school now than males, it's just a matter of time as the older generation retires. Personally, I think there would be more doctors if it didn't cost $200k+ and 4 years to get a medical degree (compare the opportunity cost vs working as a software engineer for 4 years with only a bachelors).
