Why do men earn less when they know more?

Dear readers, have you noticed that some male friends, who know astronomy and geography, seem to know everything, but their achievements and income in real life are not directly proportional to them? Why is that? Today, we're going to talk about this topic and see what the reasons behind this are.

First of all, let's be clear: knowledge itself is priceless, it is a tool for us to know the world and understand it. However, knowledge cannot be directly converted into income, and a process of transformation is required. This process often depends on how we apply knowledge to real life and whether we have the ability to transform knowledge into practical value.

So, why do some male friends know a lot, but their income is not high? In my opinion, there are several main reasons for this:

1. There is a mismatch between the knowledge field and the income area.

Some of the male friends have a very wide knowledge base, from astronomy to geography, from history to culture, and seem to know everything. However, this extensive knowledge base does not necessarily lead to high income. Because in the workplace, professional skills and practical skills are more needed. Such as project management, programming**, company management, venture capital, sales marketing, marketing strategy, etc. If you don't have enough knowledge in these areas, it will be difficult for you to earn a high income in the workplace, even if you know how much else you know.

It's like an ordinary teacher in a university, he may have a lot of knowledge, but due to the salary system of the teaching profession, his income may not be high. And if he can apply his knowledge to other fields, such as writing, consulting, etc., then his income may be greatly improved.

Second, there is a lack of ability to transform knowledge into practical value.

Some people may say, "Then I'll go write and consult!" But I can't write a bestseller or get a consulting project! This brings us to the second problem: the lack of ability to translate knowledge into real value.

You know, it's not easy to turn knowledge into real value. It requires keen observation, deep thinking, strong execution, and a wealth of experience. These abilities are not achieved overnight, and require us to continue to learn, practice, reflect and summarize.

And those who achieve high income in the workplace are often the ones who have these abilities. They are able to keenly grasp the changes in the market, think deeply about the essence of the problem, make decisions quickly and put them into practice. And these capabilities are the key to turning knowledge into real value.

3. The problem of mentality and action.

In addition to the above two reasons, there are also some mental and behavioral problems that can also cause men to earn less as they know. For example:

Lack of courage: Some male friends are knowledgeable but lack the spirit of adventure and courage. They are afraid of failure, they are afraid to try new things, and they miss out on a lot of opportunities. You know, achieving a high income in the workplace often requires us to have the spirit of daring to take risks and dare to try.

Lack of action: Some people have a lot of ideas and plans, but they lack action. They always procrastinate, hesitate, and make indecisions, which leads to the failure of their plans. To turn knowledge into practical value, we need to have a strong ability to put it into practice.

Can't let go of their figure: Some male friends may think that they have a lot of knowledge, so they are reluctant to take on some seemingly low-end jobs. However, know that all big undertakings are accumulated from small things. If we can't even do small things, how can we do big things?

Fourth, pay attention to small business and small income.

In closing, I would like to emphasize: don't ignore small businesses and small incomes. Many people may think that they have a lot of knowledge and are reluctant to do some seemingly inconspicuous small business or small projects. However, it is these small businesses and small projects that can accumulate experience and resources that can lay the foundation for future big careers.

Therefore, I advise everyone not to ignore any small opportunity and small income. As long as we can work hard, keep learning and improving, we will be able to succeed.

In summary, the reason why men understand that the more they know, the lower their income is not a single reason, but the result of a combination of factors. To solve this problem, we need to start from many aspects: adjusting our knowledge field, improving our ability to turn knowledge into real value, changing our mindset and increasing our ability to act, and valuing small businesses and small incomes. Only in this way can we truly transform knowledge into practical value and realize our career dreams and financial freedom.
