'(NECN/WTVJ: Christina Hernandez) - Young women are earning more money than men, according to Time Magazine and USA Today.

Genesis Hernandez is studying English and culinary arts at Miami-Dade College.

She isn't surprised to hear single women in their 20s are earning more than young men.

"A woman has more motivation to study, to get a degree, to be somebody," Hernandez said. "For me it's really important to get a degree."

Education is key.

Both Time Magazine and USA Today say more women go to college than men.

Once there, women are more likely to graduate or earn advanced degrees.

Among African-Americans and Hispanics, women are more than twice as likely as men to earn college degrees.'
