Just curious. For most colleges women make up a higher percentage than men. Why is that?

Women are not getting married right out of high school anymore they are waiting longer to have kids.

Boys often mature more slowly than girls get in more trouble and don’t finish where girls are more likely to hit the books. Sorry guys it's true.

Obviously women have access to a lot more job as market barriers have been lowered for them over the years.

I am not entirely sure about this one but maybe there are more women taking advantage of the G.I bill as well.

More men go into apprenticeship or drop out earlier compared to women.

when did that happened?

well there are more women in the world so its not really surprising.

That's not true

Because women have fewer opportunities without degrees. For example, they can't get hired as management without a degree like white men can. They can't enter politics without degrees whereas some rural small business owner might be able to, etc.

We need to work harder than men to be taken seriously and have more to prove than men in general so we can't afford to skip out on any educational opportunities that can help further us and our future careers. Men aren't as worried about this.

They just do.
