Here we gratuitously waste half (or more) of our brainpower. And God help the ladies with Pence on the job. His ideas of women's place in the world pre-date Noah's Ark.
Why does someone need a university education in physics, chemistry and math for data processing? I don't recall courses for data processing in the engineering curriculum.

I am speaking from personal experience. There were little to no women in the engineering department when I went to school here in the 70's and I have said I don't know why. You will need to ask the parents. My niece is a degree'd engineer and believe me, she is a rarity.
