"True, we had alternatives back then, good paying jobs in factories that have now moved overseas, but that is another topic."

It seems to me that this is no concern to you, whereas I believe it should be. No matter. You'll have to deal with it, I, most likely, won't.

You're analysis is incomplete. In the past, throughout history, the uneducated begat more uneducated. This is a case where you have sons of doctors, lawyers and engineers choosing not to compete. It's a loss to the country in terms of what is otherwise good "raw material". But it's more dangerous because these are people who were once well to do.
You have an interesting outlook. One I have seen before.

While Woman outnumber men in college, women are very much outnumbered in scientific fields. I go to the University of Illinois, and the females I know are studying things like sociology, art, English, and many other liberal arts subjects. These are fine topics, and challenging but try finding a job that uses what you learned in college.

The reality is not everyone should go to college. Not everyone can be management. And in many of the fields that you need a degree to find a job women aren't enrolling in.

Plus many women take a decade off of work when they are 25-35 to at least start a family. That time period is when male workers and females who don't leave to start a family, make huge career advancements.

I don't foresee a era when men are out earned by females for these reasons.
