Socioeconomic Diversity

It has been a tough time in our economy currently. It was sad to hear all the stories about how company's are having to cut back on people. One thing that I found really interesting about class was how when much of a differences there is between men and women and how much income they have. I always knew that men tend to make more money than women, but I didn't know that the higher degree they had the more difference there was. Like our teacher said you would think that the more professional a person is the more they would care about work then gender. Another thing from class that was interesting was credit card debt. I have been in the process of getting a credit card, but now that I know the statistic I'm not sure I want one. I cannot believe that 75% of students that have credit cards use their student loans to pay them off. That is crazy and lead to a lot of debt quickly.
