Senior ~ Samantha M.

“Equal work, equal pay is an issue [that must be addressed]. My gender should not determine my salary, and neither should my ethnicity or race. As a Hispanic female, I think it is unfair that male salaries are higher. I will be attending college in less than a year. I plan to go into the medical field and become a dermatologist. I will have male classmates who will have the same amount of education and experience, but our salaries will differ. That, I believe, is unfair. The Equal Pay Act needs improvement. Ethnicity or gender do not determine pay. experience and education do. ”  ~Samantha M.
