Going to college means furthering your education so you can get a better job and make more money.

But this makes no sense. You did the same amount of schooling as they did and worked just as hard, but you still don 't make as much.

This is showing that women don 't always choose to be teachers or nurses or anything of that nature, it shows that women are just as capable as men are at doing many jobs. Women are as strong as men
