    Anyway, I see men taking more risks and demanding more pay, whereas women will take the job that is convenient, at the pay that is offered.

    True or not true?

    I'd say not true. While some men might try for more pay, what I typically have seen with many people, men and women, is they take the pay offered. Most don't ask for more, especially in an interview.

    I think men are more likely to take a job that requires more of them time when they have a family than women, but I think that's a cultural thing where so many husbands expect their wives to do more of the home care. A generalization to be sure, but I think a lot of men struggle with their wives being on equal, or higher, footing in the job market.
