Ladies. Do not underrate yourselves.
"I never considered myself as someone who could work in tech," says teacher-turned-coder Jessica Gilbert.
It is sentiment that many women identify with - and something backed up by statistics.
There is a major skills gap in the tech sector and, as things stand, there will be only one qualified woman for every 115 tech roles by 2025.
Studies show that women are less likely to work in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) than men.

A quick look around the internet shows varying statistics around the world. I know the US is focusing on young women in STEM. Local high schools have science clubs for girls and scholarships, too. it'll happen!
When I graduated high school, it would've been nearly impossible for me to obtain scholarship funding for medical school. Everyone "KNEW" women just get married and quit. But then, DIRT WAS DISCOVERED 
and look at the statistics of women in medicine now.
