to phd or not to phd
thought this was interesting ...
"women earned nearly 58% of all degrees in the '02-'03 academic year, while men received slightly more than 42%, according to data compiled by the US Department of Education's national center for education statisitcs.
although women received more than 57% of bachelor's degrees and nearly 59% of master's degrees, men earned almost 53% of doctoral degrees.
huh.

So to break it down for you... women earned 58% of ALL degrees. so basically it is saying the more women than men bother to get degrees in the first place but once they have earned their initial degree more men than women go on to the doctorate level.
Is that what you were confused about?
oops, i must be confusing you ... my "huh" was an expression of more a "what do you know," "interesting" than a "huh" followed by a question mark.
actually not confused at all. just thought it was interesting.
but thanks for breaking it down for anyone else confused by my "huh." :)
I echo your "huh." Hope it's ok if I put up a link to your blog on mine...
