Would love to see a breakdown on the specific degrees that males and females are getting.

Women: Liberal Arts.
Men: Business and STEM.

Interestingly and relatedly, Gen Z males are much more conservative than Gen Z females.

Not sure what that chart is supposed to prove or why it was directed at me.

Louisiana has about 3 times the amount of 4-year universities it should have, resulting in a watered-down market. Many of those Bachelors degrees you reference are working in government jobs or clerical/admin.

Those numbers are not surprising at all to me.

The original small chart was replied to me, which is fine, I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss whatever point you were trying to make.

but the truth is likely that there are many jobs that don't require a degree that are "for men" and pay well, whereas all of the jobs "for women" that pay well typically require a degree (well outside of being a thot online).


Chick that used to cut my hair quit to become a welding apprentice or some shite I kid you not. She was pretty cute too.

They’re gonna refuse to marry them initially then five years later when the men are making bank doing some blue collar job, they’ll cheat on their feminine husbands with said men who have now married down to some fat uneducated girl who gave them four kids. The two marriages will fail. The feminine ex husbands will start dating men like they always should have and the fat uneducated ex wives will force the blue collar men to pay thousands in child support each month, effectively erasing the extra income the educated women were after, resulting in them growing unhappy and bitter. They’ll force their new husbands to be miserable throughout their incessant bitching about money until they blue collar men either leave to live in a trailer or live the rest of their lives in absolute misery.

Let's see a breakdown, by gender, for degrees that aren't worthless.

How is he a licensed electrician at such a young age? Does your state not require a certain number of hours on the job as an apprentice prior to going out on your own?


Minimum age is 20 and you can start an apprenticeship at 16 and schooling goes towards the minimum hours required. So it is entirely possible for a 20 - 21 year old to be a licensed residential electrician.

It certainly sounds made up. 20 year old electrical apprentice. I’m guessing pays 45k or a little more a year.

My brother started working in high-voltage electrical with zero experience in that field (he was formerly a draftsman by trade who was laid off during a downtime in O&G), and made over 80k in his first year. Now, he works his arse off and is paid hourly, but he makes a decent living.

I have a story that is the flip side of that. The baw that cuts my hair used to work in O&G, but got tired of the ups and downs, so he became a barber. It appears he's doing alright for himself, too. He has his own place, charges $30 for a 30 minute cut and is always booked 2 weeks out.

Funny you mention that.

The guy that cut my hair before her was a former electrician who worked in refineries down in Corpus.


The girl turned welder was much better than the electrician turned barber.

Just because you have a psychology degree doesn't mean shite when you are making 40 k a year so women may consider a new term instead of "marrying down".



I have a doctoral psychology degree and make a comfortable 6 figures.

Just who exactly is going to be able to afford the lottery ticket pricing of the plumber, air conditioning installer and welder? We can’t stucco our way to prosperity no matter how hard we try.

Now many English majors end up employed in jobs outside their field of expertise


Interesting that you say this. My best friend from HS double majored in English and Spanish. During summers in college, he taught English to kids in Argentina and Brazil, where he picked up Portuguese.

Dude was hired by Brown Brothers Harriman, and when I asked him how he did it while all of us majored in Econ, he said that BBH told him, "As an English major, we know you can think. We'll teach you business."

My friend is now head of all Latin American investments for a large investment bank and is crushing it.

Moral of the story, communication and critical thinking skills will always be in demand.
