Not just girls being pushed away from IT jobs courtesy of the geek stereotype

I don't think it's the stereotype, I think it's the simple fact that most IT jobs are shit unless you happen to work in a management or executive position. It's bad for your body, the work is difficult and repetitive, and the pay is terrible.

"The number of enrolments in IT university degrees has fallen by more than 30 per cent in the past decade and Australia will face a significant deficit in the number of professionals in the information and communications technology sector if the trend isn't reversed."

And yet you still can't get a job as a fresh uni graduate because the industry has something against training people.
