Workplace Salaries: At Last, Women on Top

57. I was never told I would have it easy without going to college

or even with for that matter.

I can't think of anyone who was told that.

There are plenty of boys who, by being pushed in to remedial classes or who face constant disciplinary issues, probably think that they're losers and don't stand a chance no matter what so why bother. But I don't think that's what you're talking about.

If you don't feel that you'll have to apply yourself very hard to achieve the outcome you desire in life, you won't be as motivated to work hard.

That's your theory. Now you must provide evidence to back it.

Your comparison to the days when women didn't do so well (in the workforce and in education) is a different scenario altogether. At that time, the basic role of women in society was to get married and to stay at home taking care of kids. Young women growing up in the roaring 20's weren't expected to go to college or obtain high powered careers at all. It's like comparing apples to oranges.

You just said men are told they don't need to go to college and they'll be just fine. So that's pretty much the same thing according to your assessment.
