Yes, the statistic is that it's around three to five years that people stay in the field, and then they leave. At the beginning of your career, in your early 20s, you have a lot of energy. You may still live at home. You may not have the fiscal responsibility of paying rent and buying your own groceries, so it's a great career for someone in their early 20s. However, if I can speak about my personal experience on the floor, I wasn't able to afford my own apartment working as an ECE, so that's why I moved up the field so quickly.
It's really not a living wage, so I think that is why so many women decide to leave. They have a family or get married or simply have to move on, as discussed in our paper, because it's just not enough wages.
