Abstract
Data on 76,015 male and 51,110 female college freshmen at 248 colleges and universities were analyzed to determine how father's education and high school grades were related to career choice. It was found that students at each high school grade average level tend to have different career choices depending on their father's education. A separate study of career choices of women indicated that those who choose nontraditional careers (traditional careers are teacher, nurse, social worker, clerical worker, and laboratory technician) have highly educated fathers, even though the same careers (e.g., pharmnacist and engineer) draw men whose fathers have relatively little education.
