Abstract
The paper examines a sample of women at a university who have chosen d ifferent paths to a business career by electing to enroll in parallel but dissimilar curriculums. Several attributes were selected on which to compare these women and differences between the two samples were no ted. The results imply that organizations may need to balance enthusia sm for occupationally upgrading women with a consideration for persona l perceptions that women possess about their role in society.
