How to overcome stereotype career choices

 By the end of your primary schooling you might have already thought what you want to take up as your career; Doctor or engineering .Am I right? According to several reports, most of the children think of taking the above mentioned career just because they have only heard of them or let me say it’s the stereotypical careers that are available of them. The other stereotype is by differentiating career options for boys and girls.

Four-year-olds have shown a strong gender bias towards jobs. Girls choose typically female occupations while boys tend to show interest in typically male occupations. Pre-scholars seem reluctant to cross gender work roles.

To counter the impact of gender stereotypes on careers, many educators I’ve spoken to in my research say career-related learning should take place in early primary years. The concern is that by years 8-10, the subject and career choices of students were well and truly gender-segregated.

Evidence gathered across 50 countries showed that as a result of this gender segregation by year 10, far fewer girls pursue math and science. The female students who do not complete advanced-level math are unlikely to pursue the male-dominated science, technology, engineering, math (STEM).

 A ruling-out process occurs for boys too. Very few boys follow the typically female-dominated paths, such as social welfare, nursing and teaching. This leads to shortages of men in these key roles.

This early thinking in children about what is men’s work and what is women’s work likely comes from the roles they see around them in their families, schools, books, toys and media. A quick stroll down a toy shop aisle provides abundant evidence that few toys for girls show a non-traditional career connection.

So how do you overcome them, how will you know that there is a variety of career options which are available for you all? 

  1. Stop using the words boys and girls. By using those words you have already created a perception that there are different careers for both of them.

  2. Avoid listening to people who still feel you can make a career only through (STEM). 

  3. Start finding things which you love to do, follow your hobbies, follow your talent. 

  1. Watch shows like ‘Shark Tank’ or similar shows. Share your business ideas with knowledgeable people who can guide you properly. 

  2. With the help growing internet you can see that there are a variety of people who are doing very well in life, even though they have not taken stereotypical career choices. The only thing they did is that they followed their heart.
