YourBeanstalk’s Opinion: The electronics field is yet another that is traditionally dominated by men. There are women in this field, however, and their numbers are growing every year. Working in electronics may require some travel as you may need to go to the broken equipment that is too large to be brought to you. But with it’s stability and good hours, this is a great career for women in all walks of life.
