A TIAA-CREF survey finds that new faculty members don't feel that graduate school prepared them for their jobs -- and women feel less confident than their male colleagues coming out of grad school.
According to IHE, women coming out of grad school feel less prepared than men when it comes to things like teaching, doing research, and advising. The one area where these women feel more prepared than men? "Serving on faculty committees." Perhaps women do a disproportionate share of the bitch work in grad school, leaving them slightly more prepared for the bitch work that will inevitably get dumped on them at their first jobs.
