College gender gap widens: 57% are women. Does this mean women will start earning more money than men?

Answer 1

Hopefully. But here's the thing...

College is geared towards those who are rule-followers and good team workers (women). But in the business world, it's the initiative as well as the willingness to take risks that are rewarded. Men are more like this than women, and that's one reason why they earn more.

I read this in a news article...can't remember where. I'll let you know if I find it.

Answer 2

It depends. Are all those women in college going to the right majors? Are they all working the same type of jobs?

Women actually do get paid around the same amount as men do, but men had a head start historically in the workforce. It will take a while before educated women can work their way up to higher paying jobs, and that is assuming that women would even do such a thing in the stead of other alternatives.

Answer 3

Well, Eric.....you see, women need more money. Take Wendy for example, she needed three thousand dollars for her breast implants....so that she could keep up with Bebe'.

And, what about your mom? You think chessy poofs and pie grow on trees? Groceries are expensive!

I do worry about Mr. Garrison! He is earning a mans wages, with a womans needs! All that leather for Mr. Slave can be quite expensive, too. I don't think Mr. Hat or Mr. Twig really contribute very much to his financial stability, either.

Well, I need to go send Butters to buy me some tampons....cya laters!
