“…Frey (2002) highlighted findings from The National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented that suggest that female adolescents are an at-risk population for underachievement (Diaz, Hebert, Maxfield, Ratley, & Reis, 1995). A longitudinal study of high school valedictorians corroborated these findings (Arnold, 1993).…”

“…Building on Nardi's (1983) research, Arnold (1993) asserted that in career development, women use a "personal life script, an imagined constellation of future and professional roles" ( ¶ 9). Although they are applied to regular adult education, narrative constructions are "the most effective way" (Rossiter, 2002, p. 2) of reaching learners.…”

Gifted individuals face many concerns when contemplating their futures. Often hindered by career indecision; perfectionism; and multiple personal, familial, and societal pressures, some gifted young people flounder when they have the ability to flourish. Many counselors and educators trust that a wealth of talents will propel these adolescents to automatic life success, and the unique needs of this population can go unmet. This article considers the complexity of challenges facing gifted young women, presents current and potential interventions, and encourages integrating developmental and constructivist theories with objectivist techniques. Implications for practitioners and future research suggestions are highlighted.

“…Although it seems to be an important predictor of persistence, ability alone does not fully explain the gender differences in representation in these fields. Female students who leave engineering to pursue other college majors often have higher grade point averages than male students who remain in engineering (Arnold, 1993;NSF, 1996). Thus, in addition to academic ability, consideration of other factors that may affect women's persistence in technical fields is warranted.…”

This study explored the influence of attributional style on women's persistence in engineering majors, after controlling for academic ability. Female students (N ϭ 255) previously or currently enrolled in the engineering college of a large midwestern university completed measures assessing their (a) attributions for science, mathematics, and engineering academic events; and (b) thoughts of changing career goals. Results revealed that, after controlling for academic ability, two attributional style dimensions were related to persistence in engineering majors. Among persisters in engineering, those attributional style dimensions were also related to thoughts of changing career goals. Implications for research are discussed, and recommendations for educators and advisors are presented.

“…They think that a woman is an important element for both home and country. Arnold [2] said, the countries, which do not give importance to woman education and career, are very far away from developed countries. The thinking of Pakistani society is still little bit conservative.…”

“…It's all because of female's greater involvement in getting higher education. Arnold [2] concluded that females are pressurized to prefer their marriage life and raising children before making career choices. Sivakami [13] examined that the health of working mother's children is not as healthy as non-working mothers children.…”

Career and family are important for males and females. The focus of the study is to find out the most important factors relevant to the perception of people about female job and how youth envisage career and family in both genders. A sample of 365 students is selected from B.A/B.Sc (Hons.), M.phil and Ph.D students of Government College University, Lahore by proportional stratified random sampling. 61.64% respondents agree for female job. Respondents have their view that females, who get higher education, should do job as resulted by possible association between these two factors by applying Chi-square test (χ 2 =112.197, P-value=0.000). Eleven underlying factors are identified by factor analysis that explain 61% information and somewhat represent the ideology of the respondents about female job.
