The article also points out a few trends, like fewer women pursuing MBA and choosing Wall Street as their preferred industry. Another one I find really interesting is that quite a number of grad schools are recruiting younger women (Wharton's incoming call this fall will have twice as many students with 0 to 4 years of work experience compared to last year!), in a bid to get women into business sooner.
I guess the article has given me a better insight into a career in the financial sector. I knew it would be tough, long working hours and all, but I'm not sure if I'll be prepared to make sacrifices along the way.
I've sort of planned how my next few years will be like, but you know, I realize that I've got to keep things in perspective. No matter how hard/good I plan, ultimately everything is in God's hands. He is the one in control of my life.
