I keep reading that women are entering colleges at a greater rate then men. I wonder if part of the reason is that some decently paying careers that don't need a four year degree are traditionally seen as male careers like welding or truck driving. Are there any jobs that are traditionally female that pay a decent living without a four year degree? I have known men that support their families on truck driving salaries, for example. They might not be rich but they do all right.
I've read multiple claims that the growing numbers of women entering higher education and getting higher paid jobs is because, like the article states, the system is now tilted to the benefit of women.
If that's true, how do you explain the same trend occurring in a conservative nation like Iran, which had to pass laws to limit womens' access to some sections of universities?
