Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2146993, member: 199"] The change in career opportunities for men has not altered in any significant way (and if you listen to some white males it has been greatly reduced because people are actually hiring people of color and women for jobs that rightfully should be filled by white males, just like slots at colleges that used to be exclusively theirs, they now have to compete for.) What Geno said was not that anything had significantly altered for men, but that the [B][U]change in career path options[/U][/B] for the average woman leaving college with a degree had increased significantly from what was available when title IX was passed, that their horizons had broaden exponentially. I would also add that for scholarship athletes in sports with a significant professional option the percentage of women who have taken their college education seriously (and those who actually got their degrees) vs men is significantly greater which means that when the professional career fails to materialize or comes to an end, the women actually have much greater options while the men are much more restricted. The men's best option is usually finding something that trades on their athletics skills, for the women they may have better options using their degree and intellectual skills gained from going to classes and staying awake.
