Each case is of course unique.

But I've seen so many guys quit college due to the lack of support from parents. Families that would pay for their daughter's college but told their son if he wants college then he will need to pay for it himself. The guys end up bending over backwards to do a full time job and college. They break and give up.

The explanation from parents is that boys need to be men and don't need help. Girls need college to support themselves whether it be with an actual degree or by "finding" a husband at school. I've seen many a young lady get her degree one week and the next get married.
