My daughter is 18 and wants to be an engineer. She is willing to take on 150k plus of College debt to achieve this. My son is 16. I'm urging him to become a mechanic, or a plumber, and he'll probably make just as much as her with one tenth the debt. The problem is no low debt options for women. (media.patriots.win)

Because she weighs 90lbs wet and couldn't turn a wrench if her life depended on it. But she will solve a physics question most can't even fathom.

Also look up tuition for engineering colleges. No one cares that she's a girl when her parents are middle class.

Does she play any sports?

My sister is about to graduate from an out of state college in a few months as an engineer.

She’s gotten scholarships for sports through hockey, and is going to graduate nearly debt free.

From my understanding, the way college scholarships work, they have to spend the same on girls programs as they do guys.
