Ultimately this doesn't mean anything if they aren't doing degrees that pay. Just because you have a degree doesn't mean you are making money, let alone enough to pay your loans back.
Boys are not at disadvantage in the educational system too many people don’t care about our young men and their life’s that’s why they struggle it’s hard for a young man to step in a high school building and have 20 teachers that don’t care to stimulate or encourage young men
Wouldn't teachers not stimulating or encouraging young men create a disadvantage? I agree with your sentiment that young men or boys aren't encouraged and are overlooked, which, to me, would create some negative outcomes.
We are not smarter! We are just more motivated because of various factors that are social and environmental in some cases. But from a psycho-evolutionary perspective males are less motivated without the right and proper motivations. Not all, but generally speaking there is a tendency there.
I think its because women dont have many roles to fill in society they cant exactly replace the previous workforce of construction, and many other men dominated roles. So theyre encouraged to get degress aswell as desk and office type roles, or like marketing manager or something ya know. peace
Decades ago, it was common to say girls did better than boys from elementary to high school, but that boys caught up and surpassed girls from college on. No one stopped to consider it was because girls were up against barriers that were open to boys. Girls were barred from certain colleges and fields of study, and barred from many occupations. They would be allowed to get a nursing degree, but not a law degree for instance. Plus, women were expected to marry and raise families, and were not encouraged as strongly as men to get a degree. It should not be a surprise that once the sexist barriers were removed, girls would excel, just as they did in elementary through high school.
more women are going to college than guys because the 21st century is the century of women's independence. laws are changing so you don't have to get married to secure rights or have kids, more women are getting educated and taking control over their lives, and more women are having fewer or no kids. people can shut college education all they want, but if you want to do anything meaningful - that is, work in medicine, law, engineering, any kind of science, or any higher-up government job - you need lots of education. if you want to do labor, that's cool, that's your choice. but most women and many of us guys don't enjoy that kind of work, so college (and grad school) served us very well.
I don’t know. I recently talked to a co-worker with whom I took vocational training as electrical engineer technicians. We discussed what sort of education to get next. I was accepted to the aerospace engineering programme the Technical University of Munich. I was also accepted to very law school and medical school I applied to. Well, Imagine losing ~500k in pretax income during that time. And now imagine loosing 120k in savings. That’s what it would cost me to get an engineer, lawyer or medical doctor just to ear exactly the same in the beginning and slightly more in the future. There’s no return of this investment within 40 years of work. That’s a stupid decision.
You can still be a doctor yet be a complete fool in Gods eyes education means very little in this country you don’t need to be a doctor or have a phd to make money
As a person who went to college, I think college is just the uncreative way to get a career. People who don’t really have anything in particular they want to do go to college because as long as they get their degree in something there’s laboral demand for, they’ll prolly get a job. People who have something they want to do, then learn how to achieve that goal through self-study, can make money without a college degree no problem. Unfortunately, older generations think of college as a status of intelligence, perhaps because there were few who actually graduated. I don’t think of college graduates as particularly intelligent based on that fact alone, because I think I’m dumb/clueless and yet I got a STEM degree 🤡 Maybe future generations will begin to think the way I think about college grads… idk 😛

Then why has the quality of education has dropped in the U.S?
It wasn't, Universities are now full of bullshit degrees like gender studies. Men still dominate the STEM fields, the real degrees.
