p> THERE ONCE WERE MEN br> Re: Christopher Orlet’s Is Evolution Leaving Men Behind? : /p> p>Engineering and Business schools are dreary? Ouch! This mechanical engineer begs to differ with Orlet’s education elitism. Did he graduate from law school and not get past the bar exam? Orlet forgot to stick his liberal arts education thumb at medical school too. I guess if you are fortunate to find yourself in such dreary schools and your GPA matches your number of thumbs it would be dreary indeed. In engineering college there is a saying that if you do not make it there you go to business school. The next stop is teaching. In Orlet’s case it was journalism. News to Christopher Orlet: not all baccalaureates are created equal. There are probably a lot more engineers that could be lawyers and journalists than the other way around. Great example of a liberal arts snob ruminating on liberal snobs. br> — Diamon Sforza br> Dreary Engineering School Graduate br> San Diego, California /p> p> I would suspect that what we are seeing is the devaluation of higher education and its rewards, making the victory of women a pyrrhic one. As noted, as professional schools become more politically correct and dependent on government, men instinctively withdraw to practicalities. Without some sort of government coercion, practicality always rises to the top. br> — J.L. Joseph
