Michael Gardner just graduated from City College in New York with a degree in psychology. He applied for more than 100 jobs, had trouble getting interviews and worked at Home Depot to make ends meet.

Women, commonly, and most men have many more interests and values than that, and that’s what steers them away, in the end.
