As well as all the positive comments in here I'd just like to add that having a male colleague in such a dominently female working environment does GREAT things for the level of professionalism of the place. We all know how b!tchy women can get in the workplace but having a guy there really helps to quash that a bit. We had a few male specialist teachers come in to the classroom where i used to work and the whole feel of the room would change for the better. it wasn't because they were good looking or anything... it was just a good balancing element. Like anything... if there is too much Yin or too much yang things don't function optimially. Excellent point about male nurses Nai! We don't question that as much do we? I think a shift of more guys into the CC industry would benefit everyone! And pay rates might even improve a bit too!
