Each of our interviewees were very certain about what they wanted to do once they obtained their degree. Career choices made by the majority of our interviewees were split along gender lines. Women students are far less likely to sign up for classes that will lead to "interactive and prestigious careers", according to Sadker and Sadker, who have co-authored several publications on sexism and education. Our female interviewees have selected careers that involve courses in the "soft" sciences, and the men have selected courses in the "hard" sciences. As Sadker and Sadker report,

Almost 70 percent of today's student's who major in physics, chemistry, and computer science are male. The overwhelmingly male majority extends beyond the hard sciences and engineering to theology (75 percent male, philosophy (64 percent), agriculture (69 percent), and architecture. "the "soft" sciences and humanities are taught to classed populated mostly by women.

    The Sadkers reported that 90 percent of the women received bachelor degrees in home economics, and "84 percent in health sciences, and 67 percent in general liberal arts". Concerning degrees awarded to women they found, "three out of every four degrees in education and foreign language, and two out of three in psychology, communications, and the performing arts."

    Our interviewees fall into the gender categories of the "soft" and "hard" science fields of study. The majority of our female interviewees have selected majors such as Liberal Studies, Human Communication, and Visual And Public Art. Human Communication major and interviewee Ismael Jimenez admits that there are more females than males in his humanities classes but he states, "it doesn't bother me." Interviewee Christopher Lee dreams for the future include obtaining two male-friendly degrees, one in journalism and one in psychology. He states:

The psychology one is kind of at this point because the program is not very strong here but I want to get a basic psychology because that is what I want to pursue my masters or Ph.D. inI'd also like to have some type of published writings maybe a column or printed books and also I'd like to have a radio or TV call-in show or something like that.

Another male interviewee aspires to become a police officer, or lawyer or FBI agent.

    The course load for women does not generally consist of subjects such as mathematics, science, and technology. "If graduation requirements insist on science courses, women typically opt for biology rather than physics or chemistry" state Sadker and Sadker. "As we observed students entering the building, it was like watching gender-segregated lines in elementary school: Those who turned left for physics were male, those who turned right for the school of education were female," they added. They also revealed that such gender bias habits begin long before women and men enter college, making it more difficult to redirect the gender-dictated paths.
