Number of men in college

When you look at a college campus today, most colleges are made up of women. In Rodriguez's piece he sources campuses that have more woman then men, but what about the campuses that have more men than women? How about showing the number of male to female within the United States military. Or even the number of male to female who receive a job right after they graduate from high school? The number can fluctuate anywhere within these fields. I do believe more males are involved in the US military then women are and I also believe due to today's numbers of college degrees being handed to men and women that more men come out of high school receiving a job they are content with instead of putting forth extra effort to earn a degree in school and potentially get a better job to better their lives in the future.

  1. I agree with Bailey for the most part. The fact that more men are in the military then woman is definitely true. Plus I know for a fact that Clarkson has way more guys then girls on their campus. I think the ratio is actually at 70% guys and 30% girls. Every college campus is different with ratios and overall even if there is more girls at college I do not think it means guys overall are just settling with jobs. I just think that there is more to this then just black and white like the author is trying to make it. Every person has a different story and you can't get that from a statistic.
