...oh, and i am a man doing a degree in the early years. The course has been going for 5 years and i will be the only man to complete it from start to finnish. One joined @ the 2nd year and two dropped out after the first year about 3 years ago.
The reason not many men take it up. A mixture of not being able to do the job through 'parental choice' and economics. It does not pay well. One advantage for men in the early years is a 'glass elevator'. It gives them a rapid rise to the top of the profession and that is why you tend to find men working in management roles and leading settings....and they are good at their job of course.
My dissertation is on attitudes to men in the early years so i am going to be stealing your thoughts...from the forum obviously.
