>who was my counselor, runs several projects trying to make SE and CS more attractive to girls. This is a good thing. Sorry if my above comment was dismissive and callous. Honestly, it is kind of sad as a society, that's what ends up being valued more highly. >knowing that a girl could rely on her beauty to makes thousands of dollars exposing herself to strangers. That's not really anything new. Such things have always existed. To be honest, my comment was mainly in reference to the business model itself. It's hard to compare a salary or wage with lots of money from donations or subscriptions. I'm sure there's people on onlyfans that make barely anything and there's lots of software engineers with high paying jobs. >Damn it, I have a two year old niece, I guess me and my brother better think something fast, so when shes a teenager she'll be interested in STEM. I dunno, teach her self respect and explain the value in success using ones talents and abilities as opposed to exploiting their appearance or bodies. There's always been the option for girls to do the second one. I'm glad your teacher and people like her are trying hard to give girls more options like the first.
