It’s called The Law of Supply and Demand, Heidi. Such women’s pay will never be comparable because lots and lots of women like the idea of getting paid to help people in some way or another. None of them, and very few men, are enamored of the idea of getting paid to wade through rivers of human refuse or risk their lives. That’s why the former don’t get paid very much and the latter get paid a lot. The importance of the jobs has nothing to do with it. Nothing Aaron Rodgers does is important, but the NFL can’t even find 31 other men who can do what he does in a nation of 310 million. That’s why he gets paid millions of dollars per year.

Doctors are paid more than nurses in nonprofit and government hospitals as well as in for-profit hospitals. An air traffic controller (government employee) with considerable experience and who is working in busy airspace will in many cases be getting paid more than a commuter or regional jet pilot (private sector) operating in that airspace.

Have you read Larry Niven’s Scatterbrain? It includes a pretty interesting plan on how to economically construct a private lunar colony, with one of the key points being remote-controlled builderbots – the company would sell tickets to steer the bots around for ten minutes at a time via the Internet, then identify the best bot-operators and hire them to actually build the thing (the two-second radio signal delay alone would take some pretty dedicated practice to get used to).

As for the original article, there is definitely a cultural meme since the 70′s that boys automatically know they can do anything, but girls have to be constantly reminded. I’ve worked with kids 6-12 off and on for years, either with summercamps, volunteer programs, or as a tutor, and I’d be willing to call BS on that (not that anyone here needs my word to know it’s wrong, but I may as well throw in my two cents). Boys that age are often pleasantly surprised to find the same kind of encouragement, and even a little bit benefits them tremendously. They’re starved for it. All encouragement offered to kids is directed either at girls or at kids in general.
