Working genders

Growing up, I mostly had my mother as the main object of observation when it came to working. She always, always had a job, and not just any jobs, but secure ones. Jobs that she had to go to school to obtain a degree or certificate of some sort in order to get. So for me, my view of work was that the female just always did, whether or not the man did or didnt. My mother always did, however, have the typical job expected for a woman. Nurse, telemarketer, data entry clerk, secretary. But gender has not shaped my goals in terms of work at all. I believe that a person should do whatever they find to be the job that makes them feel comfortable. Personally, i chose medicine, and to me this is not subject to any one gender.
