Heard this week from a national sales manager of a new and growing company. He hates the the male sales reps work. They will research their customers ad naseuam, build social networking etc. They do not go out and do the work, making the calls. He has become biased toward the age group.
Data point 2. More than half of new physicians are female. Sure the luster and money has left medicine to other areas, but is still a presitgous and competitive field.
Theory
The fire in the belly of young males is missing. Where did it go? It is being satisfied by virtual contest; Halo a virtual combat game has many offshoots, as well as the multiple player games like Runescape and World of Warcraft, even Lego are all about battles. There are lots of guys that fiercely compete on line. Does that drain them of their drive to suceed in real life?
