How I got into engineering/What
I like about it:
It was my high school math teacher that suggested engineering to me
as a possible career choice! I always liked science and math in high
school, although it took me some time to understand chemistry! What
I like about engineering is that you have VERY interesting work, and
that work makes the world a better place. Also, you can travel around
the world and do work, and you can earn enough money to support yourself
in a comfortable way. I believe it is very important for women to be
financially independent, and engineering enables that.
