Answer to Question 1

Many adolescents will either adopt the expectations others have for their careers, or, they will stumble into a career. Others may have or come to realize very specific career paths based upon their personalities and life circumstances. To some extent, men and women still choose careers that adhere to traditional gender-role stereotypes. Research shows that even young children exhibit gender-role stereotypes. At least 4 million adolescents work outside the home. Although there are advantages to working (e.g., increased sense of responsibility, discipline), working also has some detrimental effects. Those adolescents working more than 11 hours per week report having lower grades, lower self-esteem, and more delinquent behavior. In addition, working just 11 hours per week is associated with increased alcohol and drug use.
