Men in College
At the rate this is going… I wonder if Kyle Whittingham is gonna be able to field a football team .
I mean… a MEN’S football team.
Because fewer and fewer young men are choosing college. If you go to the average campus this fall… you’ll find the student body is 40 percent male. 60 percent female The numbers have been creeping this wayr years… and the Wall St Journal reports the gap is growing ever wider.
One college enrollment counsultant tells the Journal this gender disparity is higher education’s dirty little secret that nobody wants to talk about… and nobody’s gonna do anything about.
More boys are graduating high school and lurching for the first paycheck they can find. Colleges don’t have really have an answer. Why don’t you go deep into deb with student loans to face a shaky job market in four years… or grab $16 bucks an hour at an Amazon warehouse?
For a lot of 18 year old boys… its a no-brainer. Go to work. But that doesn’t explain why increasingly .. young women are choosing college. If the trend continues… women could eventually rule the world. And play quarterback for the Utes.
