Women and Money: A Career in Science and Tech
We all know that there aren't enough women taking up careers in science and technology, often referred to as STEM. But what's being done to improve this and what kind of jobs are available, if it's an area you're interested in? Sarah Pennells is joined in the studio by Benita Mehra, President of Women in Engineering Society, who explains why so few women go into engineering. Anne-Marie Imafidon, Co-founder of Stemette, and Stella Tournier, WISE member STEM Role Model, discuss whether girls are not encouraged enough to take engineering or science subjects at school (or are they not interested?). Meanwhile Sophie Graham, National Careers Service Adviser, looks at the academic route into engineering or science if you decide you want to come to it later in life.

Consuming Issues: How important are job perks? Listen to Saurav Chopra, CEO at Perkbox
What do you look for in a new job? Work life balance; decent pay; a supportive environment; a good pension scheme? What about free lunch; on site gym; mini golfing; slides instead of chairs? Recently though we've seen places like John Lewis, Caffe Nero and Zizzi roll back on theirs - citing the minimum wage increase as a factor. But how important are they anyway?
