I was on Facebook today and I looked over and saw an ad of a really good looking girl with the words “Real CS Degrees Online” above it. At first, I thought to myself, “Yes, that’s what the females in my CS classes looked like” (in sarcastic tone). Now I’m not saying that there aren’t very attractive females who are into computers, just not the majority of them.
If she was a Computer Science major, why would they put her at graduation. Why don’t they do a photo shoot in a computer lab and have her configuring routers or at a computer. Instead they pick at random a beautiful woman with a cap and gown on. All I was focusing on was that some poor sap is going to see that ad and expect to find that’s what the girls will look like. However, that is an insignificant point because the classes are Online.
I guess that is the point of marketing and ad placement!
