More women get advanced degrees than men

[QUOTE="BranKetra"]

[QUOTE="topsemag55"]

Nope, men would be stay-at-home-dads, working either part-time or full-time homemaker.

In both cases, men were gone from the workforce - one was a war, now it's doing the home bit.

Of course they have more degrees, its usually hotter in the kitchen.*

Meh, many of the degree's women are getting are typical liberal art/ social science degrees, so it's really not that big a deal. Men still dominate the important fields (engineering, medicine, financial, etc).

LOL what? I'm an art student and I love it, but to get a degree in physics would be my dream. Science gets us somewhere unlike arts.

Itt: boys feeling threatened by girls.BiancaDK

wow this thread is surprisingly full of facepalm.

Especially with the whole art vs science debate going on. Intelligent people know the answer to this question already.

Seems to me like people on here limit themselves to only have one perspective on things. Thats a clear weakness.

I will conceed some points to you. Currently, the job market favors people with more technical backgrounds such as math and science. However, there is still good value in a liberal arts education - our societies need it for culture and such. Historians, musicians, artists, philosophers, etc.

No reasonably intelligent person could make the statement that Arts > Science and be serious.clayron

[QUOTE="mems_1224"]good. that raises the chances that i get a girl who makes tons of money so i can stay home and be a house husbandFusionmix

And there, ladies and gents, is the reason we go out and get jobs: To avoid useless a-holes like you. This increases your desire to stay home and avoid evil b****es like us.

Win/win situation, especially the part where we kick you out ;)

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="BranKetra"] Are you saying that black holes and the theory of relativity would have been eventually found out, just because everyone was doing it? You might be right, but there are geniuses in many fields. If it weren't for them, we might still be waiting for CDs to come out.thegerg

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="BranKetra"]I think I get it. It all comes down to what each person wants to do. Voluntarily armies are better, right?thegerg

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="thegerg"] Most who study arts are replacable by those that study sciences. None of what you are saying supports your arts>sciences claim.thegerg

this science vs art argument really needs to stop.

An person who claims to be intelligent would pick science

An person who claims to be creative would pick art

An wise person would take both. you cant divide human thoughtinto pieces and then claim one piece is more important then the other.

Science has done alot for mankind. But god knows how many of those theories and principles would actually be developed if it wasent for creative thinking.

It takes some imagination to think outside the box. Imagine if Einstein, Da Vinci, Nicola tesla or Archimedes thought the same as everyone else at their time, istead of comeing up with new ideas.

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="thegerg"] That doesn't support your claim either, it just demonstrates your prejudices.thegerg

Why should I defend the claim that sciences are better than arts? It's not true. One of them is not better than the other. Suchclaims are ridiculous and ignorant.

to SolidSnake35 defence, this only started because of some comment about science being more important then art

EDIT; im slow :P

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="thegerg"]No, it doesn't support your claim that arts>science. An arts degree is only as gtood as the person studying it too, in no way does it make arts better than sciences.

[QUOTE="thegerg"][QUOTE="SolidSnake35"] Yes, there are. And the geniuses in science are the greatest of all geniuses. But I don't credit that to the "learning" of science, so to speak... I credit the person. Most people who study science are replaceable by those who study the arts. So having a science degree is not inherently better than having an arts degree.SolidSnake35

Pretty much what I thought it would be. Though I am a bit surprised to see agriculture number.

What are you talking about? Getting an average science degree is in absolutely, not a single way, not even SLIGHTLY harder than getting an average arts degree, assuming you are interested in whatever you're studying.

Someone who loves movies, but studies biochemistry because he wants to be rich isn't going to have an easy time, just like someone who's a genius at math, but studies music because he wants to "be cool" isn't going to have an easy time either.

[QUOTE="thegerg"][QUOTE="SolidSnake35"] Yeah.. and I find it very frustrating when people will tsk at my degree despite having little to no interest in what they actually study.SolidSnake35

[QUOTE="DJjoey"][QUOTE="Richymisiak"] and i would give the edge to those that study science because they could actually cut it doing a science degreeRichymisiak

But that is what SolidSnake35 was doing. If you guys keep combating "completely narrow minded and flawed arguments" with intentionally "equally narrow minded and flawed" ones, what do you expect to come out of this argument? I just don't understand this tactic.
