Women are more represented in software engineering than man are in elementary education. This was even more true when I started working in IT nearly 25 years ago. I don't know any women who have been automatically assumed to be a child molestor just because they're a software engineer. As for software engineering itself, it's mostly a crappy thankless job that is only offset by the pay. The hardest part of the job is not quitting. I do it because I don't want to do anything else. Anyway, you're still just studying to be the thing that we're talking about here. Let's talk after you've been on your own and working for 2-3 years. That's about how long my cousin lasted as a first grade teacher before he gave it up for construction. Also in the NYC area.
