but the jobs are still there and many see their fathers having had a living wage job without college.

where as more and more young women see the very low wage if they do not have college and very little opportunity otherwise. not to mention in the past, it was assumed they would stay home and raise the kids, and that is not assumed today. either getting married, or being able to stay home and raise the kids.

i think it is perfectly logical that more young women would be making the choice for a degree.

and perfectly logical why young men do not feel the same push as the women.
