The ratio in leadership positions, however, (in technical and honors societies) was closer to 1:1. In my opinion, GPA only matters for landing your first job, after that they're looking at your experience. Also, getting a college education sets you up to be an employee, not a business owner. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Dad,_Poor_Dad" rel="nofollow">Rich Dad</a> says the A students end up working for the C students and the B students work for the government. For really demanding jobs, the best setup is probably to have one person in a marriage totally dedicated to making the money and the other person running backup - taking care of housework, the kids, keeping track of business contacts, keeping up the social calendar, etc. It probably doesn't matter so much who does what... but female does have that childbirth and subsequent breastfeeding thing going on and male might have an easier time in the corporate/political world. Just my 2 cents. I got an electrical engineering degree and the M:F ratio was about 5:1. The ratio in leadership positions, however, (in technical and honors societies) was closer to 1:1.
