Women in Chemical Technology: Wendy C. Young

Wendy C. Young greatly enjoys her work as a chemical engineer and she intends to keep it that way! One of her greatest pieces of advice is that life is too short to dislike a job. And she finds that the best way to build a career you enjoy, is network the old-fashioned way: without a computer. Young is a business development manager for Chemstations, Inc.
