Looking to get a job to get her "feet wet"

Why did you choose a career in a technical field?
I always loved to take things apart to see how they worked and put them back together. I found things very interesting and enjoyed the problem solving aspect.

What do you like most about your college major?

The environment at school is great. It allows you to be creative without discouragement. Please share any Additional information that you feel might be helpful to women considering a technical career: Don't be afraid. This is not the typical "men's job", it's for everyone. If this interests you at all, go for it...you'll love it. The technical fields are for any type of person and the stereotypes out there just are not true. If you like to take things apart and put them back together just to see how they work or if you enjoy a challenge and problem solving it's for you.
