Like poster mav62, my high Math SAT landed me into a technical discipline. While there were many more men than women in Electrical Engineering, we studied in groups in public places rather than by twos.
Stephanie Pfirman of Barnard mentions that getting an A- or B+ doesn’t spell the end of your career – it is important that women (and men) STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) majors are aware that most introductory technical courses have a C average. http://mathconfidence.blogspot.com/search/label/mindset
PS Glad you were able to use trigonometry on the job ;)
