If you look at Trade Schools, TSTC for example:

The student body is overwhelmingly male. Outside of legal, accounting, and STEM degrees, what degrees are available that males would want to work in, that will provide a greater income than what they can get at a trade school in 12-18 months? What gender makes up the bulk of social work, nursing, and education degrees?
One of my best friends dropped out of a four year university, and went to TSTC to get an associates in automation engineering. He has automated every Chemlime plant over the last 30 years. He has been making over $200k for at least 25 years, and who knows how much now. His wife has a Masters in Medical Records and has always made about half as much as he has.
The number one thing all women want is financial security, that trumps education. You show me someone that is successful, educated or not, and an educated women will find something that interests them. Be it grit and determination, ability to think outside the box, money management. If he is decent looking, she will overlook his lack of a four year degree.
This kinda went off on a tangent, but yeah, China is fucked.
