how do you think about IT girl/Lady?

Hi there Baby Orchid!

I am not really sure why your teacher told you that. What I know is that what isn't fit for women to do is to carry computers, especially desktop computers up and down a building. I think that's the only reason why women isn't suitable for fixing computers.

But in your case, you're more into softwares so I don't think that there's anything to interfere between you and your future work.

Women in the field of computers, architecture and similar ones kicks*ss. They usually beat men especially in concept. So that will clearly be a no. IT is both for men and women.

I have seen ladies building houses and working at electricity companies where they fix wires and doing installation of electricity at home, now that's sounds like men's jobs but yet women can still work on that

Again there is a saying that women cannot lead nation and yet there are some countries where women are prime ministers or presidents

And now sounds like your teacher was somehow trying to tell you that there are certain jobs specifically for women which for i think is wrong, especially this days.

I think women in IT would perfectly fit and almost all fields

Don't mind about other's mind.Interest is the most importent factor.In china,it has a saying that interest is the best teacher.

IT girls have very good job opportunities.

You can do what your heart knows you can do. Anyone that tells you otherwise is wrong. If you have the desire and the willingness to work hard enough to succeed you will get there and there can be no one to stop you. Take my sister as an example. here in Canada she has become a correctios officer in our jail system. She beat%90 of the men in the physical tests and%100 of all the applicants in the written tests. gender doesn't mean anything. the hard work and perseverance you put into your goals means everything. Good luck, and when you become an IT worker you go back to your teacher and you show him that he was wrong to ever tell you that.

Hi BabyOrchid, I'm surprised your teacher told you that - she is either very conservative or living in the stone ages. There are so many of us nowadays in fields previously dominated by the males - engineering, IT, research, technical sales. And what's so difficult about coding, and programming? It's only a matter of interest and our inclination towards logical thinking.
I had my degree in IT; and I enjoyed programming very much. I went into software programming, then system design and analysis - sometimes these require detailed work, which ladies can do better than guys.
It's all rubbish about girls good only for secretarial and service work and such....women have progressed very far ahead!

hello babyorchid.. I don't agree with what your professor has told you about girls doesn't fit with IT.. I myself is taking up Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (MPSC) I don't know how many girls and boys we have in our class as for now but last semester we only have 9 girls and 26 boys.. that's because most of the girls take up Education because they find it easy compared to IT.. taking up IT in the state college where I am studieng right now is really difficult compared to studieng it to other universities...and as what I have notice there are lots of population of IT first year in our school compared to the number of 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students taking up BSIT.. that's because many shifted to other courses because of the difficulty of the course.. but I have a friend of mine (a girl) which is now grdauating hopefully in BSIT.. I think there are 5 of them.. don't listen to your professor,, just follow what you really want to take up.. there's no course that aren't fitted for as girls.. we must only be sure that we can carry it...

i guess everyone who is interested and willing to do such things are fitted to be one... maybe your teacher has his reasons why he'd said that, but he should have told you and explained to you since you are in that course. I guess, your teacher owes you an explanation...:)

Heya there babyorchid! I've been an IT guy for 7 years(hehe, I've been doing school transfers) and from my experience, there has been so many women who graduated from IT and they got awesome jobs afterwards.

Don't worry about being an IT student, you'll be exceptional in your field soon.

I personally feel that this is such an insult to women. Gone are the days when women are expected to do just the household chores and look after the needs of children and the male members of the family.
And I personally believe that if this is what you're really interested in, you will do all the best that you can to exert your efforts to understand and analyze and successfully pass all your subjects in this Information Technology career; but more importantly learn everything you are taught or everything you have to know in this field.
Based on my own observation, there are several female IT graduates who can do the job as superb as their male counterparts. In fact, we used to have a female employee here in the company I'm working with for almost four years now, who is great and does her job specifications quite well. Unfortunately, she has resigned from here and transferred to another prestigious company about a couple of years ago, if my memory serves me right.
