Often times at work when I am the only woman in the room I question my decision to go into a male dominated field. Then I remember if I went into a female dominated field, like I wanted to, I literally wouldn’t make enough money to survive.

#brb screaming inconsolably #no single man has ever given the level of thought into his career path that I did at 17 #it’s not fucking fair and I’m gonna whine about it leave me alone #how I love being a woman #I literally wanted to go into education #also I’m supportive of women going into stem and diversity is DESPARATELY needed but the stupid girlboss shit is useless #bc we cannot and will not ever be able to fix the root problem of women and ‘women’s work’ being undervalued and self sacrificial #it’s well documented that when more women enter a field the salaries go down and vice versa #see: education for the former and computer science/coding for the latter #GAAHHHHHH I hate being aware of these things I wish I didn’t think critically about anything #stem woes
