It has been my experience within the government museums (SI) that education
has more to do with ceilings, and where you got your degree and who you know
and how well you kiss, well you know :?) than being male or female. I knew
just as many male Phd's who were working far below what they should have been
as females. Now that I think of it, there are actually a surprising number of
female scientists there considering the median age of the population - 30
years ago, when they were mostly hired, only men were hired for anything you
needed a brain to do. What says anyone else?
