So true.
I have come up through a computer engineering degree where I was one of 10 girls in a class of 60. Now Im working for a telco, and in my group Im the only girl. To be honest, there are more likely to be problems if they treat me any differently to one of the other lads, as was the same way through college. You have to be confident, self assured and just have fun. There is nothing that says the people you work with have to be your friends. Its up to you to make it happen. I have no sympathy for someone taking the "victim" approach to this.
