[quote=Anonymous][quote]A native-born American kid can go to business/law school, attend comparatively easier classes with hot babes, and make megabucks, or go the STEM route, enjoy the sausage party, and make a fraction of what the MBAs/JDs are making.

Women who go the STEM route are either: 
1. discouraged by a sexist teacher/professor or two along the way, 
2. are there for the easy pickings and eventually move to an easier major, or 
3. end up running away due to too many geeks asking them out.

This may be changing (especially in law) but over the past 20-30 years, law/business had easier classes and way more lucrative. So why act surprised that capable native-born Americans went to those fields? [/quote]

Who is acting surprised?

Most posters so far acknowledge we Americans are undisciplined, lazy, and look for the easy way out to a trunk full of money.  The ends ($$$) justifies the means.  No surprise here.   We are now getting a fight for those sought after spots in Big 3 private colleges and universities.[/quote]
