It seems there is a crisis in college over the decrease in men enrolling, men graduating, or men getting Masters or PHDs. In some circles worried that White men are going to college. Women on the other hand are enrolling in college at greater rates than men and are graduating at greater rates and going on the Masters and PHDs more than men. In the professions like Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants and so forth women are entering them at greater rates than men. If the trend stays there will be 2 women graduating for every man. If this trend holds true starting mid-21st century women will be running all accepts of our society. Women will be leaders in the professions, academia, business, and in politics. Maybe the Western world will be saved. Why are men falling behind women?
