Gpa means nothing to me, I'm British
Oh. If you pass university with something like 60%, no company is going to hire you based on your degree
The british situation might be significant depending on how many go to university over there, but in Canada (esp.), and also the US, getting into the university system is far easier than it is useful. So women being able to get in easier...meh
Important programs like prestigious medical stuff doesn't have affirmative action for women, because they tried it for a brief period and realized that they were causing an experienced doctor's shortage due to women not working as much as men
where did you get this information
I ask because I work in a medical field and this is still a major problem
Are you counting the overwhelming amount of scholorships which are woman only in your consideration of how much the education system is biased?
It's not easy if you can't afford it
Oh wow, that was actually a japanese source: “Women often quit their jobs due to marriage and childbirth after graduating from the university,” the source told the Yomiuri Shimbun. “There is a strong feeling within the university that male doctors support the medical services at its hospitals.”
“There was a silent understanding [to accept more male students] as one way to resolve the doctor shortage,” the source told the Yomiuri Shimbun, according to the Washington Post. The policy was a “necessary evil,” the source said.
Not at all what I remembered it as
So I'm actually talking out of my ass on that one
That is no longer continuing
"Are you counting the overwhelming amount of scholorships which are woman only in your consideration of how much the education system is biased?" -- ABSOLUTELY NOT. That is a real issue
I was hoping you were right, but underqualified females in entry level medical positions is a very serious problem
that I deal with on a daily basis
But entry level medical positions means nurses right?
You're not talking doctors/surgeons?
in my particular job position it means Lab Assistants
Ah
they show up for work after receiving the position with almost no understanding of the rules and regulations of working in a Lab Environment and I have to spend months training them before I can even allow them to do their job
I've complained about it so much to my supervisors but nothing has changed and I'm starting to receive subtle warnings that I should stop complaining or my career might be in danger
its absolutely terrifying
Is that university admissions or employment discrimination? Those are two very different beasts
university admissions is what I'm arguing is nonserious
I have no idea, I don't handle job placement
the hospital management does
from what I can tell its gender discrimination though
its pandemic throughout the STEM community
Yeah, when they did gender blind hiring for government jobs in Australia they found they hired more men. Then they stopped doing that because it didn't have the result they wanted (sexist bastards)
And yeah
I used to work in computer science
It's pretty accepted that, in part due to government pressure to have women in the company, women are just going to be hired a lot more than men
But that doesn't really cause anyone danger, just a little bit of grief
And even then, most places do actually make sure that the girl can code
so far, after assuming my position, I have received 8 new Lab Assistants to fill my department
7 have been female
and 3 have quit when they decided the work was too hard
I'm actually running short one position right now because I want to finish training what I've got and hopefully get a fully functional lab running before I have to tran yet another applicant
Oh, then you actually don't know whether the problem is that the people from the hiring pool are just largely female and the problem is on that end, or whether the company is doing bullshit
I don't
