There’s no universal answer to why there aren’t more women in executive roles, why women are generally paid less than their male counterparts or why certain sectors (i.e. tech) are male dominated. There are many reasons -- and choice does have something to do with it.
Real estate entrepreneur and Shark Tank star Barbara Corcoran says women are right to ask themselves whether or not that high-powered job is really a top priority for them. And if they decide it’s not, there’s nothing wrong with that.
