Girls Think Gadgets Are Cool But.... May 08, 2008

….think a career in technology is for geeks. In a new survey of 11-16 years old girls, almost 90% claimed using technology is cool but wouldn’t ever think of making a career in the tech sector.

The figures from Blackberry maker, Research In Motion (RIM), show that while most think it’s cool and 38% chat tech with their friends, less than 30% of them would consider a career in technology. This compares, unsurprisingly, to 52% of boys.
