Abstract
This research work looked at female students' attitudes toward Mass Communication and journalism to build a journalism career. This study's objectives were to determine female mass communication students' attitudes towards journalism as a career and to identify the obstacles to building a journalism career. This study employed the survey method with a questionnaire distributed among the female mass communication students of the Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur. From this research, it discovered that women have a negative attitude towards journalism as a career. Most female students do not want to build a journalism career because of family barriers, social or traditional outlook, extremist religious attitude, insecurity, physical limitation, discrimination between males and females at a media house, low salary, low evaluation of women, risk, and job environment.
