Increase in Women Seeking Business Administration Degree Linked to a Need for Love

(prHWY.com) June 14, 2012 - Seattle, WA -- Popular places to look for love happen to be a bar, church group, or even social gathering, but a growing trend shows that more and more women are turning to online schools as a way to seek connections with people. The business administration program at Higher Tech University has seen an almost 75% increase in the number of female students that enroll in business administration classes online.

"I thought it was some computer error at first", said dean of business administration, Stuart Talley. "Out of the blue more and more women were signing up for the program. That's not a bad thing, but it was just out of the ordinary, and a little shocking."

While it would be amazing that all these women were signing up for this program as a way to further their lives, it appears as if these women have different motives - to find love. There is a common belief that if a woman becomes trained in business administration should could meet a wealthy CEO and live happily ever after.

"The recent increase in number of women joining the business administration classes at the school happened after a major search engine featured an article about finding love as a business administrator", said dean of admissions, Terri Southern. "I don't think it is a coincidence that this happened. Nope, if you ask me these women are looking for their meal ticket of here."

The article which was viewed by over 2.5 million people in just a week of posting, described a situation where a woman took several courses in business administration, was hired to work for a noteworthy firm, and then fell in love and married the CEO. The article described in depth how women could do this, and what was involved.

"It really isn't surprising that women would be taking drastic measures to find their meal ticket out of life", explained sociology researcher, Katie Rushers. "The economy is bad, finding a job is hard, so these women feel they can find love with a wealthy CEO and be set. Unfortunately, life doesn't always work that way."

None of the women who signed up for the course listed 'love' as their reason for choosing the program. This will make it hard for administrators to know for sure who is in the program for the right reasons, and who just wants to have fun.

"While the chances of finding love in this field is pretty slim, I hope these women learn a valuable life skill that can help them learn to be independent and live on their own", said Rushers. "That would be the good thing that comes out of this."
