The number of men enrolled in college this year trails women by record highs, part of a nationwide education gap. Nobody wants to talk about it.

@WSJ It’s been going on for awhile. My sons both went to college, I helped and supported them as much as I could. They still have huge student loan debts. I think the cost is what stops a lot of our young men from going.

@Ponderosa1415 @WSJ Maybe. When I went to college 96’ there were more women than men. We wanted and needed it more. The men were getting hired and promoted without a degree. Maybe men just don’t think it’s worth the cost and sacrifice of their time and effort? 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Pamski827 @WSJ In the economy today, it is nearly impossible to make a middle class income without a 4 year degree. There’s going to be an entire generation of young men left behind. And, as entitled as many men can be, that is potentially a crisis.

@Ponderosa1415 @Pamski827 @WSJ There are a lot more scholarship opportunities targetted specifically to women.

@bleep411 @Pamski827 @WSJ That's so very untrue. But, nice try.

@Ponderosa1415 @Pamski827 @WSJ Women don't have the same pressure to have disposable income as men when they're of dating age. Also, 18-year-old women on average tend to be more mature and long-term thinkers than 18-year-old boys.

@Ponderosa1415 @WSJ You misunderstood what I was saying. Tuition costs may be the same, but the one group might be more willing to find, earn and spend the $ on the cost of education than the other group. It’s not an explanation it’s an idea.

@Ponderosa1415 @Pamski827 @WSJ Especially with the pay gap. Perhaps women need credentials to compete for salaries with their non-credentialed co-workers.
