1.It would also be very beneficial if you were not actively discouraged at every opportunity to put your invention in to practice by shifting sands of support, mediocre advice from UK Govermnent funded "Business Specialists" and long complex schemes to get finance, that's when it is not "match funded".
The truth is most inventors / entrepreneurs / business people get to where they need to be through persistance rather than actual support in the UK.
2.In the bad old days engineering needed a lot more muscle power than it does now (at least in most cases) and i believe that this was the root cause of it being a male dominated profession.
Now it's not the case and we are losing a wealth of talent by not encouraging women to become engineers.
It's not surprising that engineering in the UK doesn't have the same status as accounting, the law and medicine. Most people think an engineer is someone who mends cars and washing machines.
Not intending to be critical of the men who do these jobs, a lot of them probably earn more than us.
