Abstract
Women professors at Texas A'M University were surveyed to determine the effects of a career on personal and family lifestyle, the nature of difficulties and fulfillments women experience in work, and the efficacy of career counseling. The data indicate that they have benefited through personal fulfillment, financial gain, and increased opportunities. They have encountered very little sex discrimination and few personal or family conflicts have arisen as a result of their careers. None of the women were influenced in their career choice by counselors, and most felt that they would not have benefited from career counseling. A large majority of the women would make the same choice again and would encourage other women to pursue a similar career.Keywords
