shell - Treat second column with spaces as one column with awk

For a file that looks like this:

Paul    white male 34 
Jane    black female 22
Sam     white male 44

I would like an awk line to treat everything after the first column on the same line as a second column, so that I could run it on the above and produce the following

white male 34 
black female 22
white male 44

Currently, awk '{print $2} would only output the first word, not the rest of the line.

THanks!

Answer

One of these should work for you depending what that first space character is and the rest of your spaces are:

awk '{sub(/[^ ]+[ ]+/,"")}1' file
awk -F'\t' '{print $2}' file
