Choosing a major

[differenceblog]

Today's post on differenceblog is about choosing a college major. Everybody seems to choose a major because they think the work will be interesting, but men seem to also consider status, whereas women seem to consider interpersonal factors more. What role does sexism or fear of sexism play in people's major choice? Comments, as always, are welcomed.
