Contemplating Career: Professionalism & Family in Traditionally Male-Dominated Fields

By: Caroline Koperski

This discussion will consider how having a career as a woman looks different than as a man, especially when contemplating traditionally male-dominated fields. Although society says that we as women should be striving for ever-increasing egalitarianism in our career paths, I will consider if this truly leads to our fulfillment. Double standards may exist for us in these fields, both at work and at home. I want to encourage creativity when discerning a career and describe my journey to becoming a full-time physician assistant, as well as a full-time wife and mother.
