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.

That is true, but for the most part, the more educated you are, the more professional of a degree, the more money you make.

Uneducated males who make lots of money are exceptions, and will be even less so as the world economy gets rid of over paid factory jobs - plus there is more competition these days. In the old days, an uneducated male could start a business and have lots of opportunity, now with record immigration, lots of immigrants are starting businesses, and women out number males in owning their own businesses also.

You dont need to read a book to see why women made less than men in the 1950's, there were virtually no women in professions, no female doctors, no female lawyers,no female computer engineers, and men greatly outnumbered females in college.

That has now been reversed - shoe is on the other foot.

Anyways, I never said I liked what is happening, I am just observing what is happening. High paid factory jobs are disappearing in this country. Males are not going to college, males are not going to professional schools, grad schools. Women and immigrants are the majority of new business owners. Men are not going into the military like they used to.

The consequences and future are inevitable, like it or not.

Do you know that in the early 20th century, it was said that women lacked the intelligence to be good secretaries? The profession was traditionally a male one, and there was a huge hullaballoo when women entered secretarial school.
