The term gender gap usually refers to the systematic differences in the outcomes that men and women achieve in the labor market.

***Making a Difference While Making a Living
Many people don't believe in the adage, "Do what you love and the money will follow," and, consequently, they spend years in unfulfilling jobs. They know, deep inside, that there is more to life (and to work) than what they’re currently doing, but they don’t believe that they can actually make a living doing something they REALLY love to do.
