Traditionally, there are many jobs and careers out there that are entirely male-dominated, but that was generations ago. Today, jobs are for anyone, but still, there are some that show statistically that it is filled with men. Here are some of the best ones we can find that you can look into.
Computer Programmers and Developers
Nearly 20% of the entire software programmers and developers are women, so it is safe to say that this field is a good entry for men. To be part and have a career in this field, a minimum of a bachelor’s degree is enough, although if you want to have more opportunities, it is recommended that you pursue a higher degree, as you can even have the chance to teach programming courses in universities and colleges.
Farmers
At least 25% of farmers in the U.S. are composed of women; however, we’re seeing a lot of spike in recent years because of the growing interest of many in agriculture. This is also true in other parts of the world, and hopefully, it becomes a recurring trend so that the field will continue to flourish.
You don’t need any educational background to enter this industry, but having one definitely gives you an edge in terms of workflow and also technique.
Construction
Almost 10% of the workers in the trades field are women, and it’s obvious how this statistic turned out. Still, there are some women in the administrative side of the industry, so you can’t really say that they aren’t interested.
Salary in this career is heavily dependent on experience and also education. Experience is always a must-have since employers want quick laborers that don’t need any supervision at all and can complete projects without too many instructions.
Aerospace Engineers
Only 8% of women complete the aerospace engineers, which is so far the lowest statistic. This male-dominated job is favored by many since it requires a lot of experience and is quite challenging. A bachelor’s degree may be enough to land you a job, but if you’re aiming to climb the ranks faster, consider getting a double degree or pursue your aerospace engineering degree even further.
Architects
There are only approximately 26% of women in the architecture industry, but it is worth noting that the number jumps to 50% if we consider the students. It could mean a lot of things, but one thing that we can predict is definitely something about a career change or failure to secure a job.
You need to have a bachelor’s degree to become an architect since this career mostly deals with building design and ensuring that everything works properly and safely.
Firefighters
Only 3.5% of the female population makes up the firefights currently, and it doesn’t seem like it is going to change within a decade or so. Still, there are some brave ladies out there that are risking their lives to save others, and it is really something worth the respect.
To become a firefighter, high school education is enough, but you can also look for a vocational course to make things easier. Otherwise, training is necessary to make sure that you’re always safe.
