They're on college campuses pursuing advanced degrees in record numbers while young men are lagging behind. Young women appear to be working harder in high school than are young men and getting better grades. Fifty-five percent of freshmen college classes are female today. Women are more likely than men today to aspire to be lawyers and to plan to get M.D. degrees. More than half of all bachelor's and master's degrees are now awarded to women. Forty-six percent of law degrees go to women, as do 43 percent of M.D. degrees.
