The only thing I noticed was that it seemed kind of listy, so if you could just build a stronger transition between the subjects, that would make […]

Did certain majors become either male or female-dominated? If so, what reasons might the majors attract one gender versus the other? Why?

I found Bobby’s comparison of teachers to Superman intriguing, because if offers an alternative view of educators. Instead of people who are “only” working to improve […]
