well....
On the other hand, we still have those rare moments when men in the trenches of science find the 40-dickedieth Mersenne Prime. School might have been okay for them.
Are there any women on that list? Probably not; they wouldn't be eligible to appear on Oprah.
Maybe we're making entirely too much out of school as a method of advancing our sciences. If we need more touchy-feelification to administer government programs, which we ultimatley will as the government grows, then the education system rightly encourages that kind of yuck.
Besides, the world needs longshorement, especially the kind that earn $150,000 along the California shoreline.
You mention longshoremen. That brings up a separate point: Do men do a better job at getting fairly highly paid non-college careers like longshoreman, plumber, etc., or else like them better? If so, maybe it makes sense for more women to go to college than men, if women avoid those sorts of careers.
