you'd tell me that testosterone doesn't make a human, regardless of gender, more agressive?

It doesnt matter how much testosterone you have, if you dont have a college, law school, or medical degree - you still wont make as much money. Uneducated males with lots of testosterone will still be able to get jobs digging ditches to work off all that testosterone, but their paychecks will be lots smaller than women with advanced degrees and who are in management.

While there is truth to what you say, it is a big mistake to only consider having a job to make money. There are many opportunities out there to make millions where college degrees are at best a distraction.

Well, I guess you sort of granted me the point about aggression. In fact, I maintain a lot of the PC crap we get shoved down our throats these days is a product of a strong feminine influence in the work place.

I agree, young men aren't pursuing a career as aggressively as they once did. Would any of this have it's genesis in the modern male stereotype? You know, the one where we've gone from a benevolent, wise father figure, (Ozzie Nelson, Andy Griffith, Ward Clever), to the inept, stupid father figure, (Ray Barrone, Homer Simpson, Al Bundy)?

Young men are either demoralized, or lazy, or both, I'm not sure. So, you have a couple of unappealing prospects for the future. First, digging ditches all day won't supress a guy's aggression, trust me on that one. Second, if a guy can't get women to notice him because he digs ditches, that won't help calm him down.
With a large number of men in this position, you have the potential for a huge violent crime problem.
I'm not sure what else will happen, but be aware, not all of these undereducated men will be stupid. Hmmmm, intelligent beings with high aggression and low self esteem.
You had better hope things don't go as you so gleefully seem to wish they are headed.

True...but only in the employment arena.

An uneducated person (with some testosterone) can start a business or sell a product or service and make substantially more money than any doctor or lawyer or corporate manager.

It is a big world out there. This whole 'job' thing is relatively new in the grand scheme of things.

College is not only unnecessary to succeed financially, it is now becoming a hindrance. In the end, the strongest and smartest will survive. They will not necessarily be the most educated. The educated will probably be working for them and earning a decent salary.
