After reading the article "Women Don't Ask" there were a lot of facts that i knew. However, i did not know the reason as to why these numbers occurred. Statistics have been thrown around in quite a few of my business classes, and even the recent presidential election that women tend to earn last. I was fairly surprised to find that it is mostly because they simply don't seem to be asking. I found it very interesting when the survey was conducted in regards to paying students to play Boggle. The monetary amount was so little in retrospect. The fact that both men and women complained about the situation, men seemed to be the only ones who said something about it. This appears to happen in everyday life which can lead to major differences life time in pay.
I think that it is hard to negotiate for a job offer. I feel like has always been a taboo thing to do is to talk about money that your future employer is planning on paying you. I feel that I may come off as to greedy and may have the offer revoked. As i have a few job opportunities lined up upon graduation I hope that i will be offered the starting salary that I am looking for. If not, I hope that i can use the tactics and skills that I have learned and will learn from this class to receive a fair competitive salary.
