Maria,
I too have my CCNA along with CNE and MCSE and believe me, you are not
alone. There are a few of us out there. I have been in the industry for
nearly ten years and I have more often than not found myself the only female
in the group. I have never let that discourage me although, at times, it
has been extremely difficult. There will always be some kind of
discrimination out there but you have the power to nullify the thinking of
those people by knowing your stuff. I truly believe that only those that
know their stuff will make it to CCIE, male or female. You have not chosen
the wrong profession, you have the ability to do the job as well as any
other candidate. Consider yourself one of the few, the proud, a potential
CCIE that is not a male. No more, no less.
"...to hell with what other people think, I'm ridin' my own broom!" LM
C. Bridgett, raised in SE DC
and proud of it!
CCNA, MCSE, CNE, CNA, MCP, A+

Maria,
I also have my CCNA and am considering getting my CCNP. I work in a group
of 12 and am the only woman. I studied math in college and found most of my
classes were all males, if a female was in my class it was very unusual.
If you enjoy what you are doing, you are in the right field. There may be
few of us but we are here.

Hello Maria
i make the CCIE in Switzerland. In our class was one Woman who makes the
CCIE. Cisco is pushing woman to learn CCIE in Swizterland. In our cafeteria
was a meeting from Cisco with all kind of woman to find out how Cisco can
push them to make the CCIE.
Greeting
