So did I...  If it is decreasing perhaps it's just stateside?  Perhaps 
it's also due to the economy?  I know alot of people who are considering 
non-programming and non-SE careers now, and they haven't even graduated 
yet.  I'm certainly considering something other than Software 
Development (multimed, DB,  .  Given the evident (& regretable) gap in 
pay in the uk between women and men, it's concievable women are less 
inclined to go for SE/programming jobs or courses.
