Men seek kudos, women flexibility - Kelly Burke, Sydney Morning Herald
Women want flexibility and men want kudos when it comes to selecting a university or degree, a national survey of postgraduate expectations has shown.... The annual survey also found that women made their higher education decisions based on hard fact and analysis, placing less value on word-of-mouth or peer pressure. Men, on the other hand, took into account their mates' opinions and experiences.The key motivation in returning to university for a postgraduate degree for both sexes was to enhance career prospects and increase income. Of the applicants surveyed, almost half expected a pay increase of up to 25 per cent at the completion of their studies.
