Who studies computing subjects?

I am currently studying post-16 Applied ICT and there are certainly more boys than girls studying subjects involving computing. Stereotypically boys are more interested in different forms of computing than girls as they spend more time playing computer games etc. In the UK men still hold more higher paid jobs than women do. The ICT training the males receive from school may be a factor affecting this. As most of the higher paid jobs involve some form of ICT, women will also have to learn the skills but it is harder to learn them later in life rather than growing up with them. In my current Applied ICT class, there are only two girls but about 15-20 boys. This shows the difference of interest between the two sexes.
