The Pursuit of Non-Traditional Careers
April 24th, 2008 | by Administrator |
A non-traditional career refers to an occupation where more than 75 percent of the workforce is assumed by the opposite gender. Conversely speaking, it is an occupation where lesser than 25 percent of the work force is of your gender.
In this time and age, men and women pursue non-traditional career paths because of many factors. Some see it as a tough challenge or a new avenue that needs to be conquered. Others look at it as a way to prove themselves, which is almost always the case with women.
Examples of non-traditional careers for women are airline pilots, electricians, firefighters and mechanics, among others. Bank tellers, secretaries, social workers and housekeepers are just some of the non-traditional careers being pursued by men in small number.
