Women make up the majority of college graduates simply because men can do more with just a high school diploma. Everyone here can rattle off the names of several "self-made men", but how many self-made women do you know? To even be a player, we NEED that diploma!
It is just a matter of getting women in the game. I am a professional engineer (Civil), and I get plenty of respect in my field and from my coworkers. Most teenage girls just don't find engineering "sexy" enough to go for it.
See? We just need more men to appreciate intelligent women, and it will work itself out. =)
I have my employment history on my MySpace page, and for awhile, I had a higher ranking in Google than my current and last employer when conducting a search for the company name. Although my page is totally not work related, I don't think it would be a big deal if a future employer saw it. It shows I have a life (if you can call playing on the internet a life).
Unfortunately, I have also received msgs from headhunters on MySpace. Those people are relentless!

Ooooooo... JB Weld in any unused ports... will that work with my preteen? I am a civil engineer, not a computer guru, so that is right up my alley. ;)
