This work presents some recent data about the escape in Physics, Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry major courses of Londrina State University, in which we have used a new way to compute the escape taxes, which we consider to be more realistic. The data were taken between 1996 and 2004 and show us some similarities and differences between the courses. For example, Physics presents the higher escape taxes, while Biology the minor ones. The data seems to point out that Physics students are more insecure about what they want to do in their professional future lives than the students of the other areas.
