I don't know about the more organized thing, but females are typically more patient. They put up with a lot of nonsense while biting their tongues...
I'm very lucky to have an excellent administrative assistant. She's the glue in our department!

Traditionally secretaries have always been women, and despite all the advances in opportunities for women, it's stayed that way. Men just don't seem to grow up dreaming about a secretarial job. October up there is uninformed, however. The secretarial field is expected to grow faster than average over the next decade, particularly for executive and legal secretaries. In addition, most secretaries earn over $30,000 after some experience and/or formal education. In metro Detroit where I live, a competent legal or executive secretary earns $50,000 a year. Contrary to some opinions, secretaries are not stupid. At least the good ones aren't.

Because years ago when stereotyping was legal, that's the direction many of the single women were herded so they would not be a burden to their families. It was also considered a stepping stone to take prior to marriage or while in college. Secretary has not been considered a career -- just a job and usually a low paying job despite the wide range of duties being demanded by those in charge . . . more males are in the field today, but the majority are female.

Women have been able to multi-task since Adam and Eve had children. There for women are able to handle more than men. (No offense to the men out there) I think that is why "women" have the babies,,lol...

It is because the pay is low.
