chicken little strikes again.

i had deja vu reading this article on yahoo yesterday about the gender gap in colleges and universities and why it means the End of Days are soon upon us. i wouldn't bother reading it yourself - just go straight to shakespeare's sister and read her concise assessment of why these articles are utter bullshit. she astutely notes:

[the article makes] no reference to the fact that often men without a degree can make just as much or more money than women with a degree. Until women don’t need to rack of up four years of schooling and the associated debts just to find commensurate employment with men who only graduated high school, there’s no reason to get a case of the vapors over the fact that men aren’t earning as many degrees.

word.
