An MBA is merely a qualifier in the study in order to establish a common baseline between a group of men and women, along with other criteria such as by industry so that the study can compare apples with apples as best as possible. The unsubstantiated suggestion plucked from marty's ass that men in that category have more work experience need not be disproven since he failed to prove it to begin with. While I'm all ears to anyone with actual rebuttal based on verifiable data, I shrug off made up self-analyzed objections by those who are simply not satisfied with the study's findings. I see no evidence that men in that sample group possess any more work experience than women, especially since women in that age range (25-34) have a lower unemployment rate over the last decade or so than men.
Just the possibility of disparate work experience and backgrounds, and actual jobs makes it a poor comparison. Men in the catagory having more work experience is only ONE of the variables that makes the use of it as a gateway useless.
Engineers can get MBA's, Accountants can get MBA's, Marketing Majors can MBA's, even people with communication degrees and enough work experience.
The very underpinning of the study is flawed, and thus any further analysis is unnecessary due to this.
The only ass plucking going on is you trying to find a rational thought somewhere crammed up your rectum.
