[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With higher paying trade work being more male dominated is it any wonder that fewer of them are going to college? Spoiler alert: The guy making $150k as a plumber is in a better position than the woman making $75k as an exec assistant with loan debt. [/quote] I think women are choosing college in greater numbers because it's the only opportunity. If they have the college education, that can be their fallback to work as an exec assistant or even a teacher. Men have a world of options open to them in the trades without a college education. I'm not worried about my son. I don't know why I am not, as I've seen several brothers falter (special needs, adhd, failure to launch). My son just seems like a go getter and I don't really think I had anything to do with it. I have every confidence that the world views him positively especially because he is handsome, which is ridiculous but absolutely a factor.[/quote]
