Do women want those actual high paying jobs, or just the high pay of the jobs? Slight difference there. I'm underrepresented in lottery payouts. Could that be because I don't like lotteries and don't participate? Attention Women If you want to be rich on your own merit (ie: not be a gold digger) then study and enter appropriate fields such as STEM fields.
