There comes a point in our career planning where we are discouraged from doing what we want because the career choice we have for ourselves doesn’t fit the gender roles. Men will be discouraged from nursing, social work and teaching while women are told not to experiment with science and security. Men who want to do feminine jobs have been teased about women and sexuality whereas women are teased and looked down upon for choosing a male opportunity. Given all these issues, it is imperative that in career planning, people will be allowed to follow such dreams to use their skills and interests. Career planning after all must never be about gender stereotyping.
