Being cautious is smart, but that is with anything. I have employed female
techs in the past. It is not uncommon, anymore, to see females in the
trades. If you worked on construction sites as an electrician, you would
have been in a far more sexually discriminatory atmosphere than any alarm
job. In *most* residential installations, you are dealing with the lady of
the house anyway. If there were to be any question, the employer should team
you up with a working partner anyway. Systems Intergration maybe an area
that would suit you and your comfort level. Pays well too.
