Yes, a good thing to learn early. I once worked for firm filled will women and when I found it challenging and started confiding in friends, everyone's response: DUH! Janell
Why?
Because male dominated organizations tend to offer higher compensation packages.
Janell, I once worked at a company that was owned by an older woman, and I found that she had all sorts of little "rules" that she followed regarding this subject, too. For instance, she'd never fire a woman, and would always promote and pay them much better than the males she employed. HOWEVER, she'd never do business with females outside of our company unless absolutely necessary. In her case, I never quite understood her reasoning.
In the art world male artists seem to be much more collectable than female even when the work is on the same level. Tisk.
So sad and so true! I've always worked in a female-dominated profession, and even with more education and experience I make less than those in male-dominated industries (male or female). Sometimes it makes me wish I had educated myself LESS and then I wouldn't be so ticked about it. :o)
