Nursing is almost entirely women and yet the average pay is $72,000 with benefits according to USA News. Teaching can be quite lucrative and stable too, esp with summer months.



nursing has more men in it than ever before

http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/newscenter/2013/anderson.html

which should be no surprise since its pay has also been rising rapidly, unlike most other jobs

i try not to assume bias until all other possibilities are exhausted

step two is to stop excluding men from teaching careers


i mean

are we actually doing that

or are teaching careers such a bad ratio of hours/energy invested to cash returned in salary that men avoid it like the plague?

economists often note that men generally concentrate in higher-paying fields, women in lower-paying fields. it's clear that money is a major motivator

Thanks Ill read when Im home. Curious, where did they pull their data from? Nationally? District? State?


nationwide

data set came from the 1998-1999 NCES random sample

K-5

they're investigating the early trends that get this ball rolling; likely later performance gaps are a result of the development of early gaps that resulted in disengagement by the older child

I did not grade like this as a teacher and neither did many of the teachers I worked with. My students has specific participation columns in their grades and I would put comments if they didnt get full credit explaining the reason why. It happened to boys and girls.

But yes if there are some teachers who factor behavior into assignment grades they need to switch that out.


there are, the study indicates they are a statistically significant subgroup and that pretty much all of the gap in grades between young male and female children can be described by this process

It is because the system as a whole is anti-male, and often times anti white male specifically.


i think the study is worth a read

it's not exactly that it's anti-male, but anti- traits that are intrinsic to male psychology, socialization, and maturation

boys get subjectively graded early on in school and are punished on what they're led to believe are objective assessments, for being more disruptive in class than girls are. nobody is saying "here is the participation part of your score, see how you being a little prick caused your grade to go down?" they're saying "you got a B on this assessment, she got an A."

over time a lot of boys just decide they'll never be good at school and tune out, even though they were certainly capable. the subjective grading system, and the way teachers punish them for being annoying little pissant children, creates a system where they're not learning "I was punished for X" but rather "sometimes I am punished. there is no reason, it just happens."

Much like training a dog, training children should have clear connections between cause and effect.

darkman does not like children.

i definitely prefer sirloin to chuck

the fat deposits in chuck are huge and don't seem to liquefy well at any level of cooking

what i like to do with chuck roast is sear it, then make my own ground beef for burgers in a sterile grinder

it's the only way i'll have a "medium" burger.

since youre a chef i have to ask

wtf do restaurants do to allow the offering of a "medium" burger? it seems like a huge risk to buy preground beef and allow idiot customers to order it undercooked

i can barely get my wife to pay attention when i tell her how our finances are doing

she changed jobs and i was walking her through setting up the new 401k

when i had her max out her contribs she had to manually set % of withdrawal, and she had this visceral reaction when i told her what to withhold

she doesnt even look at our bank account and basically had no concept that shed been doing that for 2 years

her 401k from her last job got moved to a trad IRA and is worth like 60k. i think she has no idea.

her deliberate illiteracy makes me feel significantly more motivated to be a good steward since she's counting on me to make sure she's able to retire

A single steak costs as much as three pounds of ground beef.


ratio is more like 2:1 there unless you're talking ribeyes/short loin cuts. beef in general is not cost-efficient; chicken is vastly less expensive (and healthier)

youll do both at once when you start lifting.

early on you will be ganing muscle while also dropping body fat because the initial growth is easy for your body to support, even when eating at a deficit

maintaining the body i posted requires exceptional levels of discipline that almost no people have (fun fact: i am a 6'4" man, gain muscle very easily, and barely dl more than that girl--so don't think it's where you'll be, you'd have to specifically go after that to wind up there)

I'm less concerned about direct fraud and more concerned that the money be used as intended: getting nutritious food onto the plates of people who need an income supplement. As it stands now SNAP basically subsidizes the junk food industry, which is why their lobbiest fight so hard against imposing regulations on SNAP

So do you up the squats and such by 5lb every day? That seems like a lot

Or is one session the week of the three days


you don't lift every single day

you generally lift 3-4x/week and each time you do up the squat weight, yes.

I mean, if you live in an area where abuse of SNAP actually occurs, it isn't unreasonable for them to see it happen a lot.

Benefit abuse happens most often in higher crime areas, and is most often drug related, people selling their benefits for drugs. Those nice cars he is seeing are likely owned by the dealers while the people buying are the addicts...


i think we have to remember why we're even talking about observing abuse--the sitting president wants to strip half the benefit away and replace it with shipped goods, essentially a super-brutal solution to abuse that SNAP calculates as 1% of total outlays

people who work retail certainly do see it but i think most people can tell when someone is bullshitting

when one of those 'in the know retail observers' shows up in a topic about slashing benefits to the bone to combat abuse that isn't actually happening, and tells a ridiculously over the top story i feel the appropriate thing to do is call bullshit

my older sister was on ebt for years after her divorce since her husband got a really light alimony/child support settlement with her and she hadn't finished college.

she did the best she could for her 3 kids to buy them healthy food and generally was able to keep it going most of the time

she's not able to help herself though; she loves giving things to people and when i want to treat her to a really nice meal at my place she is insistent on bringing something even if it stresses her budget

i advise against judging SNAP by what you observe. so many people use it that our own experiences are misleading. we also only remember extreme cases

the majority of recipients of SNAP benefits are children. always remember that. sometimes the parents buying for them suck and waste some of the benefit on garbage food. sometimes they don't. limiting access to more healthy foods is probably a good idea; trying to ship them only those foods is a tremendous waste of resources in the digital era.
