Dr. Laura Bambrick:

Absolutely. When we are talking about the pay and the conditions, the conditions can be something broad similar to the flexibility involved in that work, the time commitment and the amount of travel. When we are making the decision around what career we will go with we are usually young, free and single so it is the bottom dollar that will attract us. As we move up - this tends to be more for women - then they are looking at what kind of work-life balance. Women were making those decision before we had the phrase "work-life balance". They were looking at something that would allow them to have a career to dip in and out of as their family needs and caring needs change.
