Well the REALLY smart women are taking control and BECOMING THE MANAGEMENT by setting up THEIR OWN business within the IT industry - as self employed/freelance, women can fly as high as their ambition allows - and still have time for 'a life' - after serving my time in this very male dominated sector, I did not allow ignorance and sexism to chase me out but saw the perfect solution to inflexible working arrangements, which was to go it alone, after my fourth child was born; I set up my own web/print design and development business which has now split into TWO independent businesses with the recent launch of my new online shop (which my web design company designed and developed) I have FOUR children, a house and a huge dog to juggle (!), working from my home office headquarters means I CALL THE SHOTS plus total freedom, my own comfortable space, no one to hold me back and I didn't have to venture out in the snow to struggle in to work today either! HA!
