Going to college is exciting, fun, and hard work. But do you think it's realistic to expect them to practice for hours after class and then study? These are students who are in college because of their sports scholarship not necessarily because of their academics. They practice hours on end; on the field and on the court pefecting their skill.

But what does that have to do with men having less degrees and fathers. Well it seems that boys tend to emulate men and if less men are in a degreed field than boys are less likely to enter into that field. Let's face there are still industries where the "good ole boy" networking systems still holds true. Girls on the other hand see education as a way to earn more, be more and therefore whether their father's are  involved or a job is considered "a man's job" go for the degree, Well at least that's what some say, what do you say?
