Three weeks ago we wrote about The Most and Least Lucrative College Majors.  An interesting aspect on this topic is the propensity for women to select lower-paying jobs. NPR’s Lisa Chow covered the story recently (Why Women (Like Me) Choose Lower-Paying Jobs). 

Women are overrepresented among majors that don’t pay very well (psychology, art, comparative literature), and underrepresented in lots of lucrative majors (most fields in engineering).
