I don’t know, I find this distinction by gender curious. Although considering that my sisters are very much into doing things their own way, it’s not much of a surprise.
My mom was a teacher. She wanted to be an astronomer. When she was growing up, she was told to be a teacher, a nurse, or a nun, because she’s a woman.
It was definitely more blatant manipulation when she was growing up in the 60s. But that influence did not simply vanish. It’s ingrained in our teachers so it’s ingrained in our students, even if only subconsciously.

All my sisters went into healthcare. The men all went into IT. I suppose the women care and the men are into constantly fixing things? IDK.

Perhaps culture and/or upbringing have something to do with it.
My mother has always prioritized her economic and work independence, something she taught my sisters. My brothers and I, on the other hand, were always stressed the importance of having a stable job.

Then how come you don’t work with horses?

Maybe there’s a feedback loop. “Based on my experience with how this hospital managed IT, my household won’t make the same mistake!”
