How do you measure success? Recently, Real Simple and TIME released a nationwide "Success Poll," which asked 1,000 women and 300 men to weigh in on issues of work, life, ambition and more.
Among the findings — women&apos;s desire for success dwindles as they age. Seventy-three percent of women in their 20s describe success as very important, compared to 61% of women in their 30s, 50% in their 40s and 50s, and 37% in their 60s.
Also, 79% of women and 74% of men say they would not want their boss&apos;s job. Interestingly, 52% of men would take their boss’s job if it were offered to them, while only 31% of women would.
And 63% of women with children said its &apos;very important&apos; that their kids seem them as successful, while 24% said the same of their co-workers.
Almost three-fourths of women say it&apos;s more important to enjoy their work than to make the most money they can make.
When asked what success means to them, the top three responses from women were: accomplishing your goals, being at peace and having financial stability.
Almost half of women in their 20s have considered not having kids (or postponing kids) in order to aim higher at work.
There&apos;s a ten minute difference in the amount of time it takes women to get ready for work in the A.M. and the time it takes men.
For women, approval from their family is more important than approval from their co-workers.
36% of women and 37% of men often feel people at work think that they&apos;re more qualified than they are.
4 out of 5 respondents say they care about being well liked at work.
