"...Don't blame the parents - blame the system that disincentivized, attacked, and berated males for the last 30 years...."

C'mon...I thought us men were supposed to be tough and capable in handling situations that challenge us?  I'm motivated by all of the negative talk about my gender.  I'm even more motivated when put in a position that I'm held to a disadvantage.
 
Although I agree that a person can make a good living with or without a degree, guys not going to college because of fear sounds pathetic to me.
