If you add enterpreneurship to that, it makes the work-life balance even worse. Women on average prefer better work-life balance, and men prefer careers where they can get higher and earn more.&lt;p&gt;In some countries (less developed), the only way to lead a realatively OK life is to get a stem degree and work something related to that. In more developed countries, the job market (and social support) makes it possible to live OK even with a &amp;quot;worse&amp;quot; degree (ie. the ones where you can&amp;#x27;t get a job with in less developed countries).</text></comment>
