Depends on the field. I wanted to work in education, special ed. But... I was a man. I still am a man. I was encouraged not to. I could've done it anyway and I have no regrets going into the fields I went into.In fact, I can *still* go into that field. But... there's gender barriers in many professions. I don't have a problem with gender inequality being pointed out though. I'm doing it too right here.
