Women are a formidable force in the world of employment today. Since the past few decades, women have broken all misconceptions about them and jobs, and no person in their right minds will say that a particular job is not fit for a woman.
However, we should also understand that women and men are wired differently, and therefore there are different jobs that are best suited for a woman and different ones that are suited for men.
This article discusses the statement that women have advantages over men on particular areas and thereby some careers fit them better. The article also provides a list of best careers for women where they can better utilize their skills and advantages.
Are men and women different?
Yes they are. On average:
• Women understand nonverbal communication better than men.
• Women better at relationship than men.
• Women express emotion more comfortably than men.
• Women are more nurturing.
• Women are more trusting.
• Women are more expressive.
As a result of these above practical differences between the genders, careers on certain fields are more suitable for women over others.
In general and on average, women have slightly different skill sets in specific areas than men.

Advising/analyst
Most women are a sea of knowledge, simply because most of them are more observant and inquisitive than men, making them questioning and finding out things about life. Of course, because of their ability to collect information, they can easily become an advisor in several areas, be it health, relationships, business, science, real estate, education or every other aspect of life.
A recent survey has found out that women who work in advisory positions in books, magazine, IT, businesses and institutions are paid more than men that work in the same capacity.
