Women in Computing

When a student begins their college career, they must decide what it is they enjoy doing. It really is that simple to do. There are no majors that hang up signs that say "no girls allowed," nor are there any that say "no boys allowed." However, there are some majors that are very polar in terms of gender. Perhaps the American culture has raised us to believe that some majors are more suited for one gender or another. This may rightly be the case, or may play a significant role. Yet when it is time to decide what major to choose one must ask themselves, "Do I enjoy doing this?" If the answer is yes, then gender biases should not stop them. I am not experienced enough to say if there truly is any gender discrimination in these majors. It seems to me that perhaps the real issue may be that one gender, for whatever the reason, simply might not enjoy that type of work.
