NY Times: "At Colleges, Women Are Leaving Men in the Dust"

<p>There are a lot more women concerned about social impact than men. At my school, University of Michigan, the women that are in the volunteer-related clubs far surpass the men that involved. I was a part of world service team, and out of the 24 members, only 3 were men. So it is fair to say that in general, there are more women that want to “make a difference” than men. A lot of intelligent women take paths pursing this rather than trying to be a successful doctor/lawyer/engineer, even though they are intelligent enough to do so.</p>

<p>I’m going to be a sophomore at the Ross bschool (the 3rd best business school in the country). I, however, want to end up going into non-profit business eventually, Many men want to be investment bankers (extremely high starting salary) while there are only few women I know who want to pursue this, even though they are just qualified and just as math-orientated as the men. I suppose we want a more “meaningful” career.</p>
