Amazingly we are still trying to have it all as women. Society is finally seeing us as more than nurturers and young women are going after careers instead of marriage. Times are changing and women are gaining. The biggest hurdle still seems to be equal pay for equal work. For example: two residents one male one female doing the same job at the hospital which is required as part of their training. Why does the average male make 30% more than the females? What can women and men do about this? How do you know if you are being unfairly payed due to your gender. Money is still such a taboo subject with most people. I am trying along with help from World Campus to bring a webinar to Penn State World Campus run by the (national) AAUW.org that tackles these very questions. The webinar provides you with training to know how to compute your salary and how to ask for raises. If you would be interested in having this webinar here please comment or like this blog.

Thanks for reading.
