Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: I propose gender-specific idealized life course strategies for protecting human capital investments involving the ordering, timing, and nature of early work and family events. The revealed strategies seen in the pathways of 92 MBA students show little resemblance to the predicted, idealized strategies. Instead, these professional women are similar to their male peers in making family commitments before their careers are established, but are more similar to other women in how they balance their careers with their partners’ careers. The revealed strategies suggest that women are not effectively protecting their career investments, whether due to preference, ignorance, or constraints.
