Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!

No really.





Guys- what's happening? We ran our demographics for the site last week and this is what we found on scholarship applications:


73% to 27% female to male?

But that's been shown in many new studies that the big push for girls to get a higher education and into math and science courses has paid off- to the point that many universities are reporting less than 40% of their 4 year degrees are being awarded to men.

A few speculate that it's due to men earning more in the workforce so going straight to work after high school is viable since they can still make a good living, whereas it's seen that women must have a degree in order to have a good income... I'm not sure about that since I haven't done a lot of research, but it's just what I've read.

Anyone else seeing this anywhere? Guys... any response to what's happening??
