As part of a multi-year career equity project designed to reduce gender bias in career exploration, 6,756 students of 71 Indiana middle and junior high schools responded to a questionnaire which assessed their beliefs about and expectations of anticipated educational accomplishments, future lifestyles, career decision-making, and perceptions of career opportunities open to men and women in today's society. Students also furnished demographic data and reacted to 20 occupations by indicating whether they believed they could do the work called for by an occupation, given the necessary education and/or training, and whether they would consider that kind of work as a career. Ten of the presented occupations had been traditionally dominated by males, with the other 10 traditionally dominated by females. It was possible to rank schools from 1 to 71 according to their students' responses.Ten schools were identified, five at each extreme. Five were characterized by students who responded they could perform most if not all of the occupations, and would consider most if not all of them as a career. At the other extreme were five schools characterized by students who responded they could perform none or only a small number of the occupations, and would consider few if any of them as a possible career.
