Even though I’ve always been a techie, I pretty much ignored and dismissed this calling until college. It was then that I took my first programming course, in hopes of getting into a program calledI took the course because I had to for this program, never even considering it would change the course of my life. When I finished this class I had fallen in love with programming and decided to go for a degree in Software Engineering instead.
Then if you find yourself drawn to computers, you are picking something that you are sort of an outsider in. You realize you are the only girl in class or one of the only girls in the class.

When you get older and we start having kids it becomes harder to juggle the life of a programmer with kids. We see many women drop out at that point as well.
And again, you find yourself the only woman in a room full of men. So this also causes some women to eventually leave the profession.Tips & tricks First of all go for it! Second I think being well informed of the gaps is very important. Be prepared for what you are walking into.
