*"They are ambitious go-getters who have greater opportunties and are
landing good, high-paying jobs early on in their careers. They’re working
as lawyers, doctors, engineers and corporate executives. And yet, many
professional women are burning out by the age of 30. Research shows that 53
percent of corporate entry-level jobs are held by women. That percentage
drops to 37 percent for mid-management roles and 26 percent for vice
presidents and senior managers.*

*“Thirty is a very important age for women,” said Terri Boyer, Executive
Director of the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers. “There is more of a
stigma around women taking time for their caregiving responsibilities, for
family, for hobbies, etc, so they’re trying to counteract the bias
surrounding that which is why they work as hard as they do early on in
their careers.”*
