To both female and males, still deciding on a career, I highly recommend the IT/IS field. Similar to medicine, there are a number of very diverse and satisfying disciplines to specialise in.
I originally studied Information Systems because I excelled at maths, had a creative spark and wanted a challenge that would stretch my skills. Today it is the role of linking people together that I enjoy most. I love the challenge of learning about a business in detail and really understanding how all the people, processes and technology fit together to form an organisation as whole.
