It is difficult for graduates to find a job to put them in the direction of their career. It is also difficult knowing that work has segregated jobs. In the article from “Politifact Sheet: The Gender Pay

Many people look at a women 's life and don 't see it though. It is not always about women 's work life; it is about their personal life as well, their confidence, the way they live and even her kids are the gender gap.
The biggest effect the wage gap has on women is confidence. It affects the way women ask for promotions and the way they live. The Atlantic published an article in May of 2014
