The caring kind

According to  recent statistics, women are more likely to work for a worthy cause and accept a lower salary, unlike men who would prefer a decent ‘wad' of money to take home.

It has been proven that women are 10 per cent more productive when they are working within a sector that they are passionate about, where as men do not show any increase or decrease in productivity.

Women are more attracted to lower paid sectors including health care, education or charity work, which may explain why there is a gender gap in earnings.

In my opinion, I think it is important to choose a career that you're passionate about as you have to work nine to five, five days a week, so you may as well get something worthwhile and rewarding out of it.

Personally, I couldn't just do a job for the money as I would be bored stiff if it didn't stimulate my brain.

If you're passionate about your job and you enjoy going to work every day, surely that counts for more than a fat pay cheque?
