I found this interesting [emphasis in original]:
men without a bachelor’s degree were more likely than women to say they just didn’t want to get one. In turn, women without a bachelor’s degree were more likely than men to say they couldn’t afford a four-year degree.
And promise you all in America Trump team is going do everything in it's power to strip women of this right to college. The people behind the scenes see women as property. Hell they are probably jealous of the Tailban and the way they control women.
I can definitely see a lot of people who can't afford college reporting that they just don't want a degree, because that saves face over admitting that you can't afford it.
or that they wouldn't be able to complete one.
how many of those men are just lying about not "wanting" a college education just to avoid admitting they "can't" do it (for financial or other reasons)?
I also think that's interesting considering I'd expected that, with all the financial assistance provided for women to study, the cases would be flipped.
Yes is insane, not the only study that says the men are "aimless" whereas the women take the wheel.
Honestly we're doing a shit of a job maybe is time for the Girl takover IDK?
Either this is an example of male privilege or male ego.
This graph is very interesting
That is interesting. I wonder what the 25-29 cohort would look like (thinking of the flat growth top left).
In general should a gap be expected given the wider opportunity for men in trades?
I wonder if this will ultimately impact the pay gap?
Maybe. The pay gap is mostly explained by what sorts of jobs men and women go for. Women go for flexible working conditions that pay less. So it comes down to whether men without degrees can still out-earn women with college degrees by working longer less flexible hours.
I'm not an expert, but I've seen conflicting studies on that. For example, I remember a recent study that showed that women in the same field with the same qualifications and years of experience still made less than men.
A bit less, yeah, but most of the difference vanishes when controlling for certain factors.
How about the political gap? One of the big trends to come out of the election was the big divide in terms of party and college degree.
I would imagine that well educated people will still tend to vote democrat.
Ah, but just wait until higher education in the U.S. stops being a thing altogether because it has been demonized by the ruling class.
And yet there is a party that still says they should vote along the same lines as their dumbass husbands. In my country we have the same trend, yet the educated women still subject themselves to marrying nutjobs who impose misogynistic religious laws on their freedoms and liberties. Yay.
How much student loans is this costing them?
