Women in Engineering

I would like to hear stories from women who have become engineers. What were your experiences like before, during, and after college? What kind of attitude did you go into college with? How did your profs and male classmates treat you? What has your career been like? Did you have male or female mentors? What would you do differently if you could do everything over again?

I worry that high school girls are being told they're going to have a very difficult time in college and in their careers, and I haven't found this to be the case, even though I entered college way back in 1980.

PS - This isn't a thread for statistics. I want to hear from female engineers.
