Women between the ages of 25 and 34 continue to be more likely than men in the same age group to have a bachelor’s degree. The gender gap in bachelor’s degree completion appears in every major racial or ethnic group, though the size of the gap varies widely.

    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.

      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.

      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.

      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?
