...hard facts, but lots of theories. Anecdotal evidence suggests that more men than women respond to the lure of high-tech jobs that don't require a bachelor's degree.

Some 100 Indian companies are doing medical transcription already, and Selectronic operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year--a claim that Indian power companies and telephone exchanges can barely make. There are challenges to the job. Speed is a must; the company promises a 24-hour turnaround.
