The fact that women are much less likely than men to choose science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) majors in college can be traced to gender differences in occupational plans in high school, reports a Cornell study.  Male high school seniors are more than four times more likely than female students to plan to enter a STEM or doctoral-level medical occupation. When these same young men and women entered college, the young men were more than twice as likely as young women to select STEM or doctoral-track medicine majors.  Link>>
