I am a female freshman engineering student, and I will soon have to decide which major path to follow. I have always succeeded in math and science, so everyone told me to go into engineering. I find different aspects of all engineering majors interesting, but I was thinking chemical engineering because I like chemistry and everything is made of chemicals ... Somewhere in this major search I remembered that I would really like to be a mom and have a family some day. Working as a parent is difficult in any field or industry, but I'm wondering if it is possible to work remotely as an engineer? Maybe as a software engineer? I don't know how this would work because collaboration so essential to engineering, but I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with this? It would be nice to be able to work more on my own time and be able to pick kids up from school, spend more time with them, etc. Thanks for any ideas!
