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

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.
