This really happened

Well it is easy to use a computer for any one and since women might not have as much strength to perform jobs as men do it would be sensible to give them a job that requires little to no strength. Typing is an easy task or making a spread sheet these are tasks that men dont want to do because it is to simple and they would feel like they werent acting on their full potential if all they did was type or do something on the computer all day.



*My response*
First, wow. Now, onto the differences in opinion the two of us have:

1. Genetically speaking men have greater potential for muscle mass, but are no stronger than women.

2. Humans, not men, have a distaste for overly simple task, as seen by the high turnover in all jobs requiring less than a high school diploma.

3. Few people ever feel they reach their few potential, especially if all they do is spreadsheets. I'm sure even the creator of spreadsheet software feels there is more to accomplish in this area.

4. As per on a computer all day, that is what most graduates of DeVry will be doing. Typing on a computer all day, doing calculations, creating programs, computer troubleshooting, taking phone calls, working on medical equipment, and so on. Thus, one hopes that male or female at least gets some reward from a career in a technology field.

The first typing centers used mostly women for the task. In order to continue this thread, does anyone know why?



Also, I had 1 email, and 2 phone calls while sleeping today about a job offer from the doctor's office!
