There are fewer professional women who are actually earning less than their counterparts, particularly in highly skilled jobs. Powerful women in the corporate world are on the rise. There are more women in top jobs then ever before and employers are embracing it. The truth is for 20 Somethings who are educated and driven the sky is the limit. My guess is that my male counterparts earn 50 cents to my $1. It has taken hard work to get there but we have the opportunity to make your own destiny now more than ever...men and women alike. I feel when stats like these are published it creates a very skewed picture of what is actually happening in the corporate world and create a disheartening picture where there isn't one.

I am a semi busty girl and shirts that someone else can wear without any cleavage require a cami or something of the sort for me. I was recently at a reception for work and an older man was speaking to me and my cleavage. My shirt was not at all revealing and I had a cami underneath, but there was no method of pulling my shirt up far enough. It is frustrating to me that it is the woman's responsibility to hide everything not the men's responsibility to not be a perv. The cleavage issue is so frustrating for me.
