RE: Want Your Daughter to be an Engineer? Here's How You Do It!
Having 2 girls myself I have been keen to give them a chance to develop an interest in STEM. The eldest is going into Mathematics/Business studies so I might have had some success. I do hope they don't encounter some of the harassment problems some other girls I know in STEM careers, one lady who worked for an outreach company in the US to get kids interested in space had to put up with some appalling behaviour before she bailed. I'm sure we can do better! Anyway thanks for posting @aghunter!
Thanks @terrylovejoy.
Sounds like you are doing OK if she if going into Business and Mathematics!
I agree about the appalling behaviour though. My wife once went for an interview where was asked
"you do realise we are looking for someone who is going to do some work and not just sit around and look pretty!"
She'd spent 10 years in the Army before that and was pretty confident navigating male dominated environments, but that was the worst she had seen. It was an interview with a top tier engineering firm too, not a small business.
