“Perhaps the best reason to consider the hard sciences is that, well, one study suggests science, engineering, medicine, and dentistry graduates live longer than arts graduates (or law grads). So whatever money you make you can keep a bit longer.” WellsArtHardReasonLawBitsStudyMedicineGraduatesEngineeringGradDentistry Book:Why Men Earn More: The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap--and what Women Can Do about it Source: Why Men Earn More: The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap--and what Women Can Do about it
“There'd been studies over the years supporting the proposition that groups composed exclusively of women usually made intelligent decisions, that exclusively male groups did a bit less well, and that mixed groups did most poorly of all, by a substantial margin. It appeared that, when women were present, testosterone got the upper hand and men took greater risks than they might otherwise. Correspondingly, women in the mixed group tended to revert to roles, becoming more passive, and going along with whatever misjudgment the males might perpetrate.” MenYearsWellsMadeHandsMightBitsDecisionRolesStudyGreaterRiskGroupsBecomingIntelligentMalesPassivePropositionsMarginsBecoming MoreTestosteroneUpper Hand Book:Chindi Source: Chindi
