If your girls go into dorky fields, they will have no problems having a husband."<br /><br />That was my general thesis, something like the more male dominated engineering fields or medicine would be good choices. Engineering probably being better for more kids, because it's a shorter degree, and a good way to signal intellect and work ethic to a prospective husband.<br /><br />When I went to school, most of the female engineers were attractive. Most had boyfriends or were married at the end. I remember a lot of the female business majors were exceptionally attractive, and polished. Psych majors also. I would think it would be better for a woman to find her husband among engineers; they tend to be secure, solid, loyal types for the most part. Good husband material, and less competition (for the women). <br /><br />Another helpful side effect is job security. As long as AA endures, women entering majors where females are scarce will always be readily hired.<br /><br />However, there is nothing like hard data. Another good thing to identify would be the percentage of marriage breakups, by major. Obviously, those are the ones to avoid.<br /><br />It seems that the logical endpoint of this sort of thinking is almost a caste, if not class, as assortive mating works its effects.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-5788562192613914712013-01-08T19:23:44.122-08:002013-01-08T19:23:44.122-08:00" I've recently read that the field of..." I've recently read that the field of veterinary medicine has been affected in a big way by the influx of women. Most female veterinarians want to work in suburban practices treating dogs and cats, and as a result there's a glut of small-animal vets in some areas with a growing degree of unemployment.<br /><br /> Yet at the same time there's a serious shortage of veterinarians who treat farm animals. Many of the few who remain in the field are approaching retirement, so the problem's only going to get worse. As you've probably guessed by now, the main reason for the shortage is that female veterinarians generally do not like to treat large animals, except sometimes for horses, and with almost 75% of veterinary school graduates being female there just aren't enough men to go around.<br /><br /> Peter<br /><br /> 1/8/13 5:56 PM<br />Anonymous albert magnus said...<br /><br /> FYI, Riemannian manifolds are used in General Relativity calculations (i.e. Einstein's theory of gravity).
