      Yes. I think its a small part of the puzzle tho. Qualifications more significant. eg, accountants earn almost double what fireman do.

      Both appeal more to men. Nursing and teaching pay poorly despite years of study and training and appeal more to women.

      I was responding to Gorilla. Maybe he misspoke, but he said higher danger pay was a societal decision, as opposed to hiring and rention.

          But on the topic specifically, there has been some interesting research recently on employement preferences based on personal orientation.

          Basically you have 3 categories of people: those good with language/people, those good at math/strategy, and those good at both.

          Unsurprisingly, those who are good in only one category prefer professions in their respective skill area. But what of the mixed category?

          Turns out the mixed group, regardless of sex, still prefers people over math. The mixed group is ~70% female.

          Yes, I saw that too - women with maths skills also likely to have verbal skills - have been arguing for gender differences for some time.

          If anything, it just points to the fact that humans, assuming the skillset is there, prefer people- over thing-orientation.

          No, not really. Women do this much more. Men, at any level of skill, are still more likely to want to work with things.

          I'm referring to the mixed skill category. The men also preferred language/people.
