Why All Women's Schools: The SMITH Experience (REVISITED)

<p>However one might look at this study it does not show any evidence of disparity in income that cannot be attributed to the field of employment as opposed to the field of study.</p>

<p>-Women with degrees in science congregate in lower paying jobs such as education and the life sciences.</p>

<p>-Men congregate in higher paying jobs such as engineering and computer science.</p>

<p>-There is no measurable difference in income for women and men who chose computer science and engineering. One would probably find the same thing on a field by field analysis. A female math potdosc or associate professor employed by a university would have the same income as her male counterpart wih the same experience.</p>

<p>-Half as many women stick to careers in the sciences as compared to men, making any income comparison based on field of study only largely meaningless.</p>
