Go Girl!  My experience is similar ... great with math, science and spacial reasoning.  I've been in the computer industry since 1979 (mag card units) and have thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of technology.  My career has spanned everything from being a Word Perfect Macro Queen to developing legal billing programs to data conversion to integration specialist to DBA, database developer and data warehousing architect.  I even had my own consulting business for several years.

One of the things I like most about computer technology is that it is always changing ... no room for boredom here as long as you are curious and have a desire to learn.

The issue with women in technology may very well be the guidance counselors within the school systems directing them to typically more "womenly" careers.  I do wish there were more women in technology ... it would be nice to see more of them at the User Group meetings!

My son graduated from Penn State with an Engineering Science degree and got his master's from MIT.  He has been an executive at Cisco and now works in management at Google.  Needless to say my IT career has also influenced him.  If he had been a daughter I would have encouraged her to follow the same path.
