Your career.... Would it have been different if you were born female?

im in the plumbing and drain cleaning business so i cant imagine Vanessa would be very good at that shes much to girly lol

I really don’t know where I would be had I been born as a girl. I was not very academic, spent all of high school in shop, became an automotive machinist, then heavy duty mechanic and welder, spent time operating and repairing agricultural, forestry, and pipelining equipment . We took over my wife’s family farm with 90 cow /calf pairs. We sold the cows a few years back, rented the land, and I managed to get a job with a new company repairing hydro trucks. Somewhat slower paced. I have always worked with my hands, and mind. At a point a few years back I was considering going back to school and teaching shop at high school.

Had I been born a girl , maybe I would have been more academic, or at least have paid attention in class. I definitely would have been dressed to the hilt in feminine finery all the time, I enjoy working with people and youth... I would probably have gone into education or nursing .

I work in an office and I've always loved to imagine going dressed as Becky would. Nice black skirt (short enough to get the imagination going but classy 😉) black tights with enough thigh showing, boots, white blouse, dark brown hair and not to forget my sexy secretary glasses. So I think Becky would be perfect where I work xx

Back when I was 12 years going to church, I used to want to always hold the babies.  I loved holding the babies.  When I got to high school, it was a tech school, where in 9th grade you rotated through 8 different shops (career choices).  I choose my shop (data processing), along with 6 female dominant careers and plumbing where as there wasn't anymore non male shops.

I truly believe I would have completed college (became an Paramedic, as I found that I loved EMS in college), found a great husband and had a ton kids. When I was younger, I always wondered what it would have been like to be pregnant.

So today, I would be rising my grand-kids, instead of my own kids into retirement.

I think I still would have gone to engineering school and become a mechanical engineer, but my behavior would likely have been different. Since I didn’t want to attract attention and be “found out”, I tended to be quiet and keep my thoughts and opinions to myself...

Hello Ladies,

"Growing up all so different" if I was born female.

The clothes and make desire to wear and apply as CDs would be natural and expected.  The challenge of every day life, child bearing, the monthly friend issues, how would one know?

It would be different, but I would expect I would be in the same job, but if I could I would like to be a security or a "TV" reporter. 

Hugs,

While I am curious how my life woud have been different had I been honest with myself and my parents when I was outed as a teenager, I cannot say that I have thought about how my life would have been different had I been born a woman.  Now as I think about it, I do not believe that my career choices would have been different.

I pursued a military career after graduating from high school before transitioning to educuation where I spent 20 years.  I recently left education for the private sector after becoming disenfranchise with the bureaucracy of education.

I do not percieve my gender being different would have affect my career choices.  Those choices were based on who I am, and not what I am.

My father worked in warehouses, driving forklifts and loading trucks.  Guess what I do for a living?  So mabey I would follow my mother into healthcare.  She started working in nursing homes before getting a good job working with mentally handicapped people, and retired from that job with over 20 years and a kickass pension.

However, I see my female self in an office or some customer service job, probably having worked my way up to the manager of said office.

I like these “what if” questions. I ended up in healthcare technology moving into management but was a poor excuse of a hippy before settling down.

Had I grown up a girl I think I would have been more of a sorority girl in college. My degree would have in political science leading to a job at a lobbying firm at a state capitol. 
Clothes- skirts, heels, power suits. I would have been the power behind the scenes. Under estimated, eliciting information from men more interested in my legs and boobs than thinking strategically.

i would be that women you see at all the special events and parties; either as a host or invitee. Striking appearance but approachable. I could talk about fashion, travel, cooking or sports. “Who’s that lady with Senator Smith in the luxury box?”

Money would never be an issue, social life the envy of many, friend to both men and women.

Ahhhh, always fun to day dream!

I was born in the late 1940s, so if I had been born female, my life would have been the complete opposite of how it actually went. Primary school would have been the same except I would have been playing "girl" sports instead of football (soccer). The secondary school I attended was an all boys school with a heavy bias to a navy life. I joined the Royal Navy after school so no college, but trained in engineering and that discipline carried me right through military & civilian life, until I retired in 2012.

So, as a girl, I would most likely not have joined the navy, or any of the armed forces, so probably would have ended up as an office worker for a short period before falling into the marriage/family routine that trapped most women into a home life looking after the kids.

I want to believe I would have had a career in public safety.
