But we were all about making money. There may be men who are into computers just because it's fun, but women go to college to further their careers, and ever since outsourcing, CS doesn't seem to be the way to do that. If a CS degree becomes likely to result in a high-paying job, the women will come.
Speak for yourself. I'm a woman in computer science completely because I love computers, and not at all for the money. In fact, I'm planning to double major in CS and philosophy. I think it's sad that apparently all the women you know go to college exclusively to further their careers, and not for the love of learning. My experience is very different. Hopefully you're not speaking for a majority, but regardless, please don't put words into other peoples' mouths.
