Lines: 13 I ran across an interesting little statistic in Savvy Magazine(April 1984). It was in an article about Lois Wyse who is president of a very profitable advertising firm. She has written a book about woman who make a lot of money. Did you know that only 3.5% of American women make over $25,000? Only 3.5%! Which means, that we female engineers are pulling down BIG BUCKS compared to most of the women in this country. This statistic comes as no surprise to me, but it sure makes me wonder about what jobs women are doing out there. It certain- ly isn't doctoring, lawyering, and executiving! Sharon Badian
