Is gender affecting the choice of the courses that students choose for their higher education in schools and universities. It is commonly said that girls prefer art subjects, whereas boys choose

science

.

This

essay intended to analyse the reasons and the changing trends about it. One main reason for graduates to select subjects according to gender is

carrier

interests. The existing social stratification classifieds various professions according to sex of individuals; less physically demanding jobs for females while risky and physically challenging works for males.

In other words

, the majority of females choose teaching as their

carrier

path rather than technical jobs, which requires physical strength and

science

knowledge.

As a result

girls prefer art subjects like literature, politics or history;

however

, boys tend to select challenging subjects

such

as marine, automobile and aeronautical

science

because they are ready to face adventures in their professional life.

For instance

, a study conducted by the queen's university found that only 5 percent of men opted to teach as their

carrier

in 2000 in London. In my opinion the current trends of gender discrimination in all fields are significantly reduced while compared with the past 5 decades. The choice of subjects in the field of secondary and tertiary education has changed a lot in these years, most of the students consider their interests rather than common trends. Many women shown their talents in male dominated carriers and wise versa.

For example

, Neha Uddhav, the

first

female pilot in the Indian air force, became as an inspiration for many young ladies in India. In conclusion, huge numbers of females choose arts subjects and their male counterparts prefer

science

subjects

instead

. The main reason for

this

is social stratification of

the particular occupation for which you are trained

career

choices;

in addition

,

this

trend has been changing recently due to student's interests in choosing subjects.
