During last week's in class interview prompted three questions to my interviewee: if gender mattered in their workplace, If there was a wage gap within their workplace and the experiences with their parents in dividing up the wage earning labor within their own home. In regard to Gender in the workplace my interviewee discussed her perception working for a pizza/kids fun center as well as a large corporate coffee company. Regarding the pizza place she mentioned that women where the ones who typically were party hostesses while the males worked the kitchen. She added that customers felt more comfortable that their children were watched by a female. At the large coffee shop however she observed that workload was divided quite evenly between males and females. Moving on to wages she never saw anything that seemed as if women earned less than men. She got all the hours she asked for however, that perception isn't broad enough to make any static conclusion. When discussing her parents and their contributions towards the household finances she noted that her Father contributed the majority of finances earlier in the interviewees life while he served in the Navy while the mother stayed home. As the Dad retired however, he now earns less off retirement and the Mother earns more due to her working as a nurse.

This is a make up for last week's participation since I was away for Military duty that weekend.
