That is because, outside the hard sciences, most college is a four year party with a heck of a tab. Most men would be must better severed at a trade school, and indeed that is the trend.
Actually I think it is more a referendum on the fact they have eliminated classic "well rounded" material from the curriculum and replaced it with feminst and left wing maxist dogma that serves no purpose outside of the left wing loony circles.
Feminist studies does not make you well rounded, it may put you as an HR manager job up to a point, but it does not make you a better smarter person. (actually I bet it makes you a dumber slower person)
Why pay for that?
Trade school is going to be a real need before long. Because there has been such an emphasis on getting a *real* (college) education, there is beginning to be a real shortage of people to do the trade kind of work. Our mechanic said that it's getting to the point where a good auto mechanic could earn a six figure income with no trouble. Not bad for fixing cars, especially if you like it.
