Survey: Fewer Young Men Are Attending College
Breitbart ^ | 12/26/2023 | KATHERINE HAMILTON

Posted on 12/26/2023 11:40:27 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The decline in college enrollment among U.S. young adults in the past decades is being driven in part by fewer young men pursuing higher education, according to data analyses by Pew Research Center.

Roughly 1 million fewer young men are in college compared to 0.2 million fewer young women in the past decade, Pew senior researcher Richard Fry wrote, citing new data from the U.S. Census Bureau pertaining to 18-to-24-year-olds’ college enrollment data.

“As a result, men make up 44 percent of young college students today, down from 47 percent in 2011…” he wrote. “This shift is driven entirely by the falling share of men who are students at four-year colleges. Today, men represent only 42 percent of students ages 18 to 24 at four-year schools, down from 47 percent in 2011.”

This would appear to be a good decision, give that the vast majority of the academic majors of not academic, and have nothing to do with civilization or any practice done within a civilized society.

Choice A: Attend a college after borrowing an insane amount of money for a degree that may or may not lead to gainful employment.

Choice B: Attend a 2 year Trade School and almost immediately upon graduation get a job that can pay $100,000 a year.

Doesn’t seem like a difficult choice to me.

Surprise? American colleges practice discrimination against White and Asian males, accusing them for no reason of harassment, racism and rape.

+1
low chance of brain washing, high chance of learning a marketable lucrative trade, much shorter and cheaper term. Win win win

Forgiving college loans is discriminatory against men.

Supply and Demand. Costs keep going up higher than inflation. Buyers decline.

most modern women refuse to date a man that she perceives as lower than herself which means lower income or education.

There will be a lot of single people in the future.

Electrician or plumber apprentice if they are smart. Get paid to learn, good pay after a couple of years, unlimited potential if you own your own company, and a skill you can barter on the black market when the US slides into a dystopian nightmare.

Fewer scholarships and grants available to men, especially if they are Caucasian.

I think you will find a lot if employers who will tell you that today’s college grads don’t know how to do anything. Regardless of what option one chooses over college, it’s a choice that gives them some chance of becoming competent. That alone makes it a better move.

Also most 'grievance studies' bullsh*t majors include sections on hating smart people, hating white men, and hating people of merit of all colors... Vile Marxist crap..

In a few short years their 'degrees' won't be worth crap. Well, unless some company WANTS to hire a person who's a plagiarist and because they're female or BECAUSE they're black or brown. Good luck with that companies - if you want to compete and win you hire the best and brightest - NOT the angry and cheaters.

College campus’ are a hostile environment for males. Who wants to be the whipping boy for the woke mob? Not to mention college degrees are becoming worthless in both the private and public sectors.

After my first semester in CNC/Machine tool tech, my remaining tuition was 100% paid by scholarships from manufacturing companies, Kubota and Hass.
