I always wanted to be a veterinarian.  Then I wanted to be an artist (music and art).  Then I wanted to be an FBI agent.  Hopefully some day soon I'll settle on one so I can get a degree and start working in my chosen field.  lol

I have been in retail for the past 20 plus years.  Depending on what kind of store it is, it could go ether way.  But based on my training, I would say that the Auto Parts side of things is my passion.   Definitely most male.

Until now my job has always been IT-related, software development or system administration. And I always thought it was something I really really liked. Until now. Since we're moving to the UK in a few weeks for the job of my partner, I quit my job, and so will be a housewife for a year. This and the transition as a whole made me think a lot however about what I would like to do as a job, and I'm now noticing that my former passion for technology and gadgets and things like that has more than cooled down. I'm even thinking about going to study to become a nurse when we get back home next year (I have a feeling I really want to do something with people).
The future will probably have some more surprises in store for me :-)

I'm an IT contractor, and i find the IT world to be fairly gender neutral place.

In practice i seem to find when i'm on a contract somewhere that there are more males than females, but it doesn't really matter to me. If a person is good at what they do then that's all that matters. I've worked with some really sharp people of all genders.

I don't really have a career. I've had a string of office type jobs - accounts, sales, customer service. I now work in the administration office of a major UK insurance company. The office staff is split about 75:25 towards women, most of them middle-aged. Previous to this when I was in sales (in the same company) it was more male-orientated. I intend to return to sales when the economic climate is a bit healthier.

My hobbies and interests have always been male-dominated. Football. Aircraft. Folk & blues music. Pubs/real ale. I didn't specifically seek out interests that were masculine, it just seemed to happen that way.

Two of my passions are books and computers.  I've seriously considered, and may yet end up, being a librarian, which seems pretty female-dominated (I don't think I've ever seen a male librarian).  I'd also like to get some of my writing published--being an author seems pretty gender neutral.

Dude, there are male librarians! Me being one, although I'm actually just a library assistant. Definitely in the minority, but we got quite a few guys working here.  We call ourselves guybrarians. Heh.

My plan in life is to be a practising artist. I'm kinda reclusive and crazy when it comes to art. I think that's masculine.  I also like writing and want to be a published author.

So yeah, artist/guybrarian/author pls
