What’s more, while young boys’ ideal jobs have stayed relatively unfluctuating over the past quarter century, young girls’ career dreams have grown more ambitious. Back in 1989, a study found that 11-year-old boys were most interested in becoming an athlete, a service member, or an engineer. Now, a new survey of children 10 and younger found that boys’ career dreams have stayed relatively stable. In this study, girls said they aspired(渴望) to be teachers, nurses and hairdressers.

　　Also notable: Overall, girls were more likely to say they were interested in a STEM job than their male workmates. Indeed, 41% of girls expressed interest in technical careers, vs. 32% of boys.

　　?Yet while girls’ increased interest in scientific careers is clearly something to celebrate, there is still progress to be made,” said Simon Isaacs, a researcher. “We can celebrate the girls’ focus on STEM, but if we look at children aged 1 through 10 right now, we still have a long way to go with regard to getting girls involved in engineering, computer programming and other tech fields.” Other recent studies similarly found that American girls believe they are relatively unlikely to end up in a career that requires computer science or engineering skills. “Even as we talk about being a generation that is growing up more gender-non-conformist(无性别意识的) than any other generation, we aren抰 necessarily seeing that translate into what kids want to be,?said Isaaghcs.
