That will also result in an even lower birth rate.

[AlaskaErik]

That’s because there is a war against boys in our education system, and I use the term “education” very loosely. For the record, both my wife and I have bachelor’s degrees.

[NVDave]

It is more accurate to say that women are now more credentialed.

A degree in some useless humanities nonsense doesn’t confer education, but it can result in a credential.

[CodeToad]

I don’t think “degrees” in “women’s studies” and “business communications” really count as education.

[Foundahardheadedwoman]

Explains why women vote for the Democommies. We have met the enemy and we married em.

[stevem]

My wife is more educated than I am. She has a masters, and I don’t. I still like to think we married across. Plus, I can still take her in two pin falls out of three.

[bgill]

My advice to lil’ miss is to dump her book smart socially inept wimpy 4 eyed bf and look for a real he-man plumber or similar who has actual skills.

[CaptainK]

Men have been marrying down for centuries so I don't see this as a problem.

[ottbmare]

My daughter is almost certain to marry down in this way. She likes to feel protected so she keeps dating cops and Marines. The average highly-educated nebbish is less capable with a gun or a truck than she is, and as beautiful and graceful as she is, she intimidates liberal nebbishes when they see her driving an F-350 dually and hauling a loaded six-horse GN. Or when they see her with a .45 or a 2-gauge. She wants someone who is not only unintimidated by that stuff, but will be delighted and will know more about it than she does.

If a degree were what it was 60 years ago this would be a big deal. I mostly recruit salespeople. Do you think a degree is the first thing I look at?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Most of them have degrees in "education."

Education is what you major in if you don't want to have to study.

[Mogger]

see her with a .45 or a 2-gauge

A "2" gauge!

Now that's some woman!

[Graewoulf]

Today 20 % of College and University Graduates are unemployed 6 months after Graduation, and are called “educated homies.”

Should 1 in 5 students chose to be educated homies, or spend their time learning a trade where men still outnumber women.

Well, unless they want to be a politician where men still outnumber women.

[ottbmare]

Sorry! Typing on my phone and didn’t see that I’d omitted a fairly important number.

[ConservativeStatement]

Unfortunately, most college graduates can't speak properly. The excessive usage of words and phrases such as “Like” and “omigod” is appalling. The misuse of certain words such as “literally” is astounding. Go back to remedial reading class, supposed educated college grads.

[virgil283]

I can shoot a ‘2-gauge’...but just once.. then I go to the hospital ‘cause both arms are broken......,,Thanks man, that typo cracked me up....

[GeronL]

The leftist definition of “more educated” usually means more brainwashed

[virgil283]

You are right as rain...”my professor said”....[and don’t confuse me]

[Organic Panic]

My thoughts...

Women still want a man to provide for the family. My guess is the more educated and liberal the more she sees her husband as a chump to pay the bills while she pursues HER individual hobbies.

Women will still take these suckers to the cleaners. I find it hard to believe the education gap is because women are taking engineering courses. They are taking feminist leaning courses that brainwash them in to believing men are pigs, wallets, and sperm donors.

Call me jaded. Cuz I am. I do no see anything good from this report.
