Then let's start cutting prices. First thing to do is to get rid of half the workforce (the women). Prices will have to drop to match the lowered demand. When half the workforce isn't working any longer, the demand won't be as high.

Why does the price of things matter? Like I said, what's the difference between your vision of people getting paid $10/hr and buying $10,000 land versus people being paid $250/hr and buying $250,000 land? It's the exact same thing.

WTF??? Now you don't think women should work? So how am I, as a SINGLE adult woman, expected to pay my bills? If you're offering to be my sugar-daddy, I'll have to think about that first.

Seriously, WTF? Are you gonna pay my bills for me??
That's what I figured. I checked the lower wage option.
As long as you are satisfied working for the lower wage and won't become resentful if hired and other new hires make more than you. What they're really asking you is to tell them what you think you are worth, within the range they may be willing to pay you.
I've had applied and interviewed for positions, where I put down a modest requested salary in the application.
In two cases, the employer made an offer, but it was under that salary, by 15%. Perhaps +-15% is the wiggle room.
The first time when I was desperate for work and experience, I took the position, at a pay I thought was low.
The second time, years later for another position, where I was underballed, I didn't take the position.
I suppose my point is that the requested salary field is important, but employers will still consider (you) if you list a higher salary (than what they had in mind) but might underball with a lower offer. With that in mind, it's best not to start off low but just at the right amount for your experience compared to the grade of the position, so that wiggle room (at the point where it's less) wouldn't make it an absolute no for you.
Some guy will, certainly. In turn, you cook and clean his house for him.
No thanks, I didn't go to graduate school to be a maid. You seem to wish it was still 1955, but no matter how hard you wish it just isn't gonna happen.
Btw, around here (and in most big cities) it's pretty tough to be a single-income family. And what about women who earn more than their spouses? My sister makes more than her husband, and they'd lose their house if she quit her job. So once again, do YOU plan to support all of us??
I guess it goes back to you wishing for a time machine, so you could return to the 1950's... houses would only cost $20K, nobody would earn more than $10/hr (not even really true back then), women would live in the kitchen, and all your neighbors would be the same color. Sounds like hell to me, with the exception of that cheap real estate - but of course I'd be unemployed and my husband would only make $10/hr, so that wouldn't even be so cheap to us.
Every woman I've ever dated did not work outside the home.
Three of them were disabled, one was a student, and the rest just didn't work. And I'm happy with that--because that's MY responsibility.
