My girlfriend steered her daughter into the engineering profession when she was just out of high school. Her daughter attended Michigan Tech University in the U.P. of Michigan and became a mechanical engineer at the age of 25. Today, the daughter works at the GM Tech Center in Warren, Mi. and earns a substantial wage. Women engineers can pretty much write their own ticket in this high tech world that we live in today.

Oh, I agree that companies will hire and promote woman engineers based solely on the fact that they are female. Affirmative Action, and all that. (I worked for an oil company for 10 years. Any female in the business had a golden ticket. Competence was not even considered).

But I know a lot of women who are very competent in math, etc. But they don't want to be engineers. They prefer the Arts. But if your heart is really not into it, why go into a profession where you dread Mondays, or even just getting up in the morning?

One of the girls on our high school FIRST Robotics team became a mechanical engineer. Her Dad was another team mentor and a nuclear engineer. She got a full 4-year scholarship and graduated Summa Cum Laude. Very attractive gal but not a natural engineer type. But she will end up as a VP for Dominion Power some day. She and my son were co-founder students on the team.

Dang, where were the girls when I was stuck at MTU...?
