A study of Harvard's most recent graduating class finds the women engineers are being paid way, way less than the men I say this survey is BS. May engineering class had maybe 20% women 30 years ago and they were more heavily recruited than the guys and all had jobs by graduation while the majority of guys did not. Most corporations have women running their HR departments and there is no way in hell they are going to allow women to make less than men given the same degree/job out of school.

I read the "study" and it was baloney ... it based on asking grads what they thought they would make. The survey says "a plurality" of women in technology and engineering said they will be making between $50,000 and $69,999. The guys in the same field? A plurality said they would be making between $90,000 and $109,999. .......... Among those going into finance, 29 percent of the men said they'd be earning $90,000 or more. None of the women were. Not one. Asking people who don't even have a job yet what they will be making is a waste of time. Wait till they get jobs and find out what they actually DO make.
