That, g/f, is so VERY true..
I worked my way thru network engineering school by doing tech work for
www.bigmamas.com. Was run by an older woman from New Jersey at that time. At the time, her partner had just run off with the content, passwords and money..So I helped her rebuild..The men in this biz at that time laughed at us..
Then I became a network engineer..MCSE, CNE..Worked as a civillian engineer for the army in Ft. Monmouth..This little bs here is nothing compared to what I had to go thru..Was the only woman among hundreds!! Talk about discrimination!! You have no clue..Anyway, I survived that..Became the head of info tech for a technical college in Florida..People treated my assistant, a guy, with more respect..
I do this now by choice..I don';t want to work for "the man" anymore..I want to make my own way.. I still do consulting work and do that when I choose for whom I choose..But this is more fun..And I'm learning a hell of a lot about graphics, scripts, etc, etc..!! Something I never got into before..
But yes, the good ol' boy society is here and in all areas..There is nothing we can do about it..
