> I don't think CS is a high social status field at all.
I totally agree with you. I believe this is one of the factors why women hesitate to enter the field. They are more socially aware than we are.
Also, even in IT areas, technical capable people are relegated. We get good salaries but we don't get fancy titles. We are the only profession that allows to be managed by outsiders. Financial firms(and finance departments) are always headed by a experts in the field, same with lawyers, architects and finance. But we are managed by people that are not experts.
