university student body is 2/3 women, degrees awarded are 2/3 women, so it should not be a surprise that women out earn men in areas where a university degree carry a premium. This has been known for a while, as an outgrowth over the controversy over the "women earn $0.79 compared to men." Women out earn men early on, but then it flips later on, after men climb the salary range with experience, and women dropping out to have children.
