Appearance makes you more money…

Women who wear makeup versus those who don't make 30% more money on average. I found this study that totally changed the way I think about how you present yourself and whether it matters how you look and make you more money or not. They had groups of workers. They ranked those workers on attractiveness. What's fascinating is they found out that the workers who were ranked as more attractive made for men about 15% more on average, and for women sometimes more like 25% on average. So I was like, what do they mean by attractiveness? Is that symmetry of face, AKA you have to get plastic surgery? You can't make more money. That's not what the data says. All else being equal, all other job titles, skills, experiences, 30% more money. So listen, this might not be fair, but it is true. And so if you can have something in your control that you know can help make you more money, it actually makes sense to be a little vain and pretty. Privilege is a real thing, and more of us could have it.
