A new study from Bain & Company puts another nail in the coffin of the outdated stereotype that work-life balance is a women's issue. When Bain asked 1,500 MBA students and graduates what they want out of their careers, 50% of men and 51% of women said they "plan to prioritize nonwork commitments over career progression."

Julie Coffman, author of the report and chair of Bain's global women's leadership council, says the survey indicates that MBAs have jettisoned the old idea "of putting blinders on and only marching up the career ladder."
