> Men of similar social upbringing to these women are stuck to being dockers, fishermen, movers or otherwise.
What docker or fishermen are required to have a minimum of a 2 year degree and a difficult licensing test? A test that some states require you to re-take at regular intervals?
A better comparison would be programmers. Although there is no minimum degree, no licensing test, and the pay is quite a bit higher than nursing. Significantly the pay was much lower when it was a female dominated profession.
