Most of these degrees are in useless studies such as communication, English, and other liberal arts.
Boys and girls rule. We’ll do everything in our power to make boys and girls feel worthy.
Hopefully the infatuation with “degrees” will one day come to an end.
Classrooms were redesigned to accomodate the girl “crisis”.
Now they are going to have to rething what they’ve done, as there is an obvious boy “crisis.”
But since most of the educational staff is made up of empowered liberal women, they refuse to see the crisis and are quite satisfied with drugging boys into submission.
I work for a Fortune 500 company, and unless the job requires specialized training (e.g., engineers) HR does not give consideration to a degree after 10 years from graduation. They are only interested in job experience.

It started at West Point in 1976, the rest of the countries school system followed like lemmings -- and it has been downhill ever since.
the idea that everyone needs to go to college is a huge scam.
now i have an MBA and i have done fine with it, but it took a long time for me to even get near what peers did with fields in the trades.
trade work is physically demanding and it only makes sense that more women would be enrolling in school.
now if they can focus and get degrees in things other than anthropology and psychology, then perhaps one day we’ll even see this so called gender gap in income disappear.
My wife and I have been noticing for years now, how wimped out this politically correct once great country has become.
Check out the major networks news outlets on daytime tv, all the newscasters and the so called experts they bring in to comment on the news are women. When have you seen
a commercial where the minority male or the white female is the scapegoat or fool? The minority male and the white female are usually doubled up on the foolish white guy, who in ALL cases is the brunt of their superiority!
It’s obvious to us that we are being set up by powers to be in this country who are untouchables...Females and minorities!!
We are seeing direct results of these mind games by the witch from hell itself who is running for president of this once great coutry...
Hey folks, Ya ain’t seen nuthin’ yet...
A white male doesn’t stand a chance in the future, and thats for sure!!
It might also be good to question whether college degrees are as necessary on a resume as they used to be. That is, if a boy can earn a *better* living without a college degree than with it, what motivates him to go to college?
Many universities have evolved into a cross between diploma mills and mandatory paper chases. Much of what is taught is expensive fluff, and what results is not an education so much as student indebtedness for decades.
At some point, major employers will begin to question the entire premise. Since their new hires often need basic skills reeducation, on top of specialized learning unique to that business, all a diploma does is certify incompetence. If a prospective employee can perform at or above standards, their diploma or lack thereof is meaningless.
After this happens, where employers only care about a prospective employees abilities, not their diploma, schools will be faced with a new paradigm: employment insurance.
That is, say a school graduates 500 engineers, 450 of whom are able to find employment *as engineers* within 2 years. In that case, the school has done its job and earned its tuition.
However, if a school graduates 500 engineers, and only 150 of them are able to find employment *as engineers* within 2 years, even in an economic downturn, that school has failed to educate those students to needed standards.
The other 350 students, *or* those who loaned them money, should have the right to demand a rebate for their tuition. And it is right and proper that the school should be punished for not doing its job. But at the same time, schools probably cannot afford such a rebate, so that is why they should be required to purchase “education insurance” for their students.
This would mean that insurers would be motivated to get and keep universities academic standards at the level where their graduates get hired. The insurers would hold the universities feet to the fire.
It would also mean that many graduate programs would end. Graduate programs that produce far greater numbers of Master’s degrees and PhDs than could ever be hired. Unless someone is getting a graduate degree for their own edification, this nonsense should end, or those students should be reimbursed for their expenses.

The goal of the Marxists who control the NEA and the colleges of education is to emasculate boys and turn them into girly men. It is all part of the plan to destroy Western Civilization.
Unfortunately, there are armies of not too bright college of education majors will to be the Marxists’ Useful Idiots.
My 11 yr old grandson can’t see any reason for going to school, he thinks he can learn all he needs to know by working with his dad and grandpa, he’s not half-wrong.
SINGLE SEX EDUCATION NOW!!!
There was an excellent article awhile back by Camille Paglia. She stated that academia (which she is a part of; and which she is critical of) had become to ‘feminized.’ And that by pandering to the feminists; ‘true’ males (or words to that affect) who had in use for or interest in liberal arts were being given the shaft. It was a great article (Camille gets it right alot of the time) she expressed that she felt entrepernurial skills, and blue collar jobs were wrongly looked down upon and that not everyone was destined to be happy in a cubicle She tauted that we are raising another generation of MBAs but there are few skilled workers (plumbers, electricians, etc). Great piece, and as four of my children are boys one that I read w/great interest.
