That suggests that with the same degree, they'd pay off loans at the same rate. I'd bet on that.
I'd actually bet that women pay them off at a higher rate.
- Women are more risk averse than men.
- Women tend to marry upwards socioeconomically, so their households can better afford to pay off debts.
The caveat would be what we mean by "the same degree", because it's only actually the top 10% of a cohort that earns positive ROI, so we'd need to hold GPA and alma mater constant too.

There is a name for marrying up socio-economically... Hypergamy!
