My theory is that many not-that-rich countries didn't have opportunity to go through a period where some jobs are thought as strictly male/female (think 50s in the US). Coming from such a country, and being a woman, I never heard from my parents, or another adult for that matter, that engineering wouldn't be suitable for a girl. This wasn't just because there is money in engineering. It was the same for less lucrative professions in STEM. The concept of woman needing to pick a suitable profession was just not there. Education was important for both genders. I am very thankful for that and it bothers me when people say women from my part of the world enter STEM just because of money. It's just not true for majority of STEM women that I met. |
