IT Helpdesk Support

Maybe they are, maybe they're not, I suspect it does go on in some places, but then most IT depts full of spotty men are screaming out for some female influence, I've seen it. As for the whole "shortage" thing, well of course more men are going to be in the IT industry, as boys grow up being into computers and techy stuff many of them naturally progress in this area. Girls, by and large (generalisation alert), couldn't care less about graphics cards and CPU's etc and theres nothing wrong with that, but there will never be an equilibrium in the workplace until its refelected in society first and I can't see that happening in the near future. This isn't discrimination, any more than theres more female hairdressers than male, men generally don't care as much about their hair as much as women do.
