I know more men who majored in business, communications, pre-med, political science/law than I do women who majored in those things. The female-dominated majors were stuff like Music, Psychology, English Lit, etc. Those lead to careers that aren't exactly profitable (but do bring lots of satisfaction
). There were not whole lot of women majoring in administration or the natural sciences. I wonder if men making more despite less going to school have something to do with smaller numbers of men in college, but the ones who do choose the "money" majors?
