The 2-year tech program is definitely the way to go. Coming out of it with 1/2 a second is huge. That's where the demand is. These days, a 4th isn't worth the paper its printed on, and even a 3rd doesn't carry as much weight as it once did.
As a woman getting into it, know that there are more and more in the field every day. Understand that as the newbie, you will start in positions 1/2 a step above laborer. Work hard and you will progress quickly. Just for the love of all things holy don't use the "I'm a girl and this is hard - can you do it for me?" line. That'll ruin your chances rea quick. That being said, two of the most talented operators I know are women (tiny ones at that!)
Now to inhibit a few alarms before bedtime. ;-)
