There is no burden of proof to refute made up comments that you yourself can't prove. That you can't prove your comment renders it self-refuted.Without facts to back your assertions, you're fling shit, hoping it will stick.What evidence do you have that men acquiring MBA's have more work experience than women ... ?There is still a gap...
Women Can't Get Equal Pay in Finance No Matter What They Do
Women have yet to close the wage gap, even when they have similar jobs to their male counterparts. That's especially true on Wall Street. Last year, women who graduated from business school and took jobs in financial services earned an average of $21,872 less than male MBAs, according to data collected by Bloomberg Business. Drilling down into the numbers shows part of that discrepancy is explained by differences in the type of finance companies that hired women, but a gap persisted even when women worked in similar sub-sectors of finance as men.
MBA"s are a poor qualitative comparison because the MBA is usually gotten by people of varying previous experience and backgrounds. So even if people graduated the same year with an MBA, they may get paid very differently based on their initial degree, and work experience prior to getting an MBA.
What evidence is there that this is not a contributing factor? I'm not the one who did the study, I'm just pointing out another unknown that could invalidate the results.
The people who believe in these studies should be able to answer these questions, you know, to defend the point they are trying to make.
The burden of proof is on the people who believe in what the study says.
