85% of the people in my sisters veterinarian class are women.

Affirmative action.

She should be so proud.

No affirmative action. It's a changing field. Family farms are going away and not as many men vet's needed to work on farm animals and men,generally, are not enthuised about treating cats and dogs as a career as much as women.

And it is going the other way for men in other areas. Males in nursing programs is growing each year and pushing out women. My gf works at a hospital with a nursing program. 15 years ago maybe 5% of the class was male now it's 35-40% (great money btw for male nurses and they are in huge demand)
