Here’s a fun fact about engineering: It remains one of the highest paying jobs that doesn’t require a graduate degree. It’s no wonder, then, that many young men and women choose this career path. However, a quick look at the industry reveals a surprisingly huge gap between the number of male and female engineers. It appears that entering the field is one thing, but staying in it is another matter entirely.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 13% of engineers in the country are women, though females account for 20% of all engineering degrees earned. Why aren’t there more female civil engineering consultants? The Harvard Business Review conducted a study identifying five reasons women bail out prematurely.
