It’s been one of those driving days:
- neither dispatch nor the GPS got you anywhere near where you needed to be
- traffic was a bad dream within a nightmare wrapped in a horror story
- every four-wheeler on the road seemed intent on cutting you off or following way too close
- and on top of it all, you broke a nail
So you start thinking, “That woman who’s a ________ (fill in the blank with secretary, teacher, banker, medical transcriptionist, etc.) has it way better than I do.” You figure they get paid better, have more benefits, they don’t have to put up with guys’ wisecracks and they can balance their work and home lives with ease.
Think again.

Huang created FairyGodBoss, a website where women can rate jobs and employers.
