In response to Tim's remarks concerning why women pursue jobs they know will
not pay well and why don't they retrain for jobs that will pay better.

Some women are in fact doing exactly that.  If all women in low paying jobs
retrained for higher paying there would be severe shortages of nurses, 
secretaries, child care workers, elementary school teachers, homemakers
and other valuable, necessary occupations.  I think the quality of life would
drop considerably.  These are valuable occupation and I for one am glad some
women are willing to work on changing societal structures to better meet their
needs.
