I am so pleased that my niece is really at the vanguard of her future.

She just graduated from university in geophysical engineering and for past 2 years had a summer job working on mathematical modelling software for a geotechnical firm. She even worked part-time during the school yr. and....emailed her completed work 400 kms. awayy back to her boss.

She was sent on a business trip by plane, within 4 wks. after she graduated to another Canadian city over 1,000 kms. away.

Then she took time out for backpacking a few weeks in Europe with 2 other gals.

Now she is renting her own apartment and will be commuting full-time by bus closeby.

She is 22 yrs. old. Has a boyfriend (in civil engineering). She is a lovely, slim woman, obviously smart and no, she rarely wears makeup. And no, fashion is NOT a priority to her. Thank God....

I say she is your model career woman of the future.

Please tell all your girls to focus on the priorities in life.... their future is promising, if they see the full range of job and educational opportunities.
