This is going to be disastrous for the future economy of our nation. From here

Look, for example, at the Stanford class of '81. Fifty-seven percent of mothers in that class spent at least a year at home caring for their infant children in the first decade after graduation. One out of four have stayed home three or more years. Look at Harvard Business School. A survey of women from the classes of 1981, 1985 and 1991 found that only 38 percent were working full time. Look at professional women in surveys across the board. Between one-quarter and one-third are out of the work force, depending on the study and the profession. Look at the United States Census, which shows that the number of children being cared for by stay-at-home moms has increased nearly 13 percent in less than a decade. At the same time, the percentage of new mothers who go back to work fell from 59 percent in 1998 to 55 percent in 2000.

Look, too, at the mothers who have not left completely but have scaled down or redefined their roles in the crucial career-building years (25 to 44). Two-thirds of those mothers work fewer than 40 hours a week -- in other words, part time. Only 5 percent work 50 or more hours weekly. Women leave the workplace to strike out on their own at equally telling rates; the number of businesses owned or co-owned by women jumped 11 percent since 1997, nearly twice the rate of businesses in general.

Look at how all these numbers compare with those of men. Of white men with M.B.A.'s, 95 percent are working full time, but for white women with M.B.A.'s, that number drops to 67 percent. (Interestingly, the numbers for African-American women are closer to those for white men than to those for white women.)

Obviously the State of Utah discriminates against women! The government must do something!

Heh.

Education has become a contest in memorization of irrelevant details and expressing feelings. It's disconnected from any sense of actual function, except in a bureaucratic climate. Thus average women succeed in it through nature obedience and detail-orientation; at the same time, it excludes both men and women who can discern a bigger picture among the chaos, or make leadership decisions on partial data.

And the sad part is that despite this decline there are still endless programs and incentives to get more women in to college.

Colleges are largely a waste of time, most boys these day either do or should go to tech or trade schools during their high school years.

they will be the ones saddled with ridiculous student debt. aren't the actually useful majors like business and engineering still male dominated anyway?
