And yet technology implementation is the single most accessible industry I can think of, with most of those, esp in Europe, who succeed at it, being largely autodidacts. Everything you need to learn is there and free and you can do it in your bedroom.

The industries you cite are largely people businesses with restricted knowledge paths and require intense experience and with outcome of individual projects being much more vague and often predetermined by the inputs they received when taking on the project.

My feeling is that females in tech are largely suffering from the outcome of some inherent risk analysis that we experience. Girls are more likely to take definite paths with known success ratios.

This brings the question, why don't we have significant outliers in female in tech given the low barrier to entry at the root level.
