Should women go into computing?

One interesting phenomenon in the technology world is that many people finish a degree in Computer Science and then go on for a career in Software Engineering. Although Software Engineering and Computer Science do have some things in common, there is a gap that must be crossed as a new employee makes the transition from the theory of the Computer Science degree to the practical applications of being a Software Engineer. Although the degree might have a different focus than the general career, the degree is invaluable and required for most Software Engineering jobs.

Similarly, there is no specific degree available to train women who have aspirations to raise children full time. Aspiring Software Engineers getting training through Computer Science; aspiring mothers should also get as much education they can. Whether the degree is in elementary education, mathematics, engineering, or history, the skills learned in that degree program will be invaluable when it comes to raising children in today's world.
