Gender and work

Growing up I always noticed that the men in my family and around me did most of the work, which involved allot of physical labour. The women on the other hand the women did physical work but nothing near as intense as what the men did. At some point in my life I did believe that a woman's role was to take care of the house and children. Gender has played a part in shaping my goals. Men have always been looked at the head of the family, the one who has to provide. This affects the type of job I search and the amount I desire.
