A study of Indiana high school students sought to identify the extent of nontraditional occupational selection, awareness by the students of sex stereotyping influences, and their strategies for the promotion of educational equity. Results indicated that almost all students (80%) planned to enter occupations traditional for their sex. More females than males select nontraditional roles, with most choices also requiring, as a minimum, a four-year college degree, and they attributed class experience as the major motivating factor. Students named course experience, interests, role models, peers and relatives, economics, and work experience as the factors influencing their career choice. While students offered suggestions for counteracting sex stereotyping, their awareness was not reflected in their own choices. Recommendations resulting from the study proposed unbiased occupational information, recruitment and encouragement, with inservice staff training to facilitate better awareness and techniques, plus classroom changes permitting nontraditional work experience, sex equitable course titles and materials.
