Message: [QUOTE="SVCBeercats, post: 2970382, member: 7874"] I did. It shows Zeb Brady doing a math problem? See 40.03. Teenage female's attitude toward math? See 40.24. Their mother clearly does not push them in any specific direction. She lets them find their way. How many friends do you know that have daughters? Did they encourage them to pursue a more male associated curriculum? Were they successful? Many moons ago I hired a young college grad from a very traditional Lebanese family who owned a restaurant in our office building. She was not at all encouraged to go to college let alone pursue a career in information technology. Yet something sparked this kid to do so. What was it? I just assumed like me it was what she wanted to do. Her family expected her to join her older brothers in the restaurant business. Why do you believe there are few women in what are traditionally viewed as male occupation? What can ignite the spark in girls and young women to pursue these careers in greater numbers? I understand managers have to be more open minded. But even then the bureaucracy can be a problem. At an aerospace company I was given an additional section to manage which had no minorities and women. So I scheduled interviews with 8 women, six of which were black. All were about to graduate with computer science degrees or information systems degrees. I received a call from human resources, a woman mind you. She sternly accused me of reverse discrimination. Knowing this could go on and on I agreed to interview 3 men. Then I hired a woman. She called me back to tell they had their eye on me. Make sense of that. [/QUOTE]
