My wife's roommate in college majored in chemistry. Got a BS with good grades.

Got a job at Merck right out of school. I met her about a year or two after she got that job, and she said then that as a woman with a BS in Chemistry, she had her choice of jobs when she graduated.

She's stayed with Merck for 25 years so far, moving up from a lowly chemist all the way up to being a director of some global branch.

I understand from the news that some fields are really tough for women to break into, but my personal observations are that some other fields are so hungry for women, and there are so few of them available, that it's a golden opportunity for those few.
