For women to enter this field, they must believe that these jobs are not boring and can be beneficial to others or themselves. Women should also ignore what others say that this profession is only for men. Additionally, people may say that men are more competent at this job because they have better science and math skills than women. While this statement may be true, women are capable of being excellent at both of these things as well. To get younger generations to consider STEM as a future career, there need to be more women in this profession to serve as role models. Research has shown that these reasons cause women to avoid STEM careers, and there may be others.
