Greg Deiss, top photo, and Dr. Haley Minnehan, lower
photo, spoke to the Prairie Middle School sixth graders on Thursday, January
29th about how careers are affected by the issue of gender equity.
Mr. Deiss stressed that many women currently work in career fields that
were considered male occupations years ago. He pointed out that many
men now work in career fields that used to be considered to be female job
positions. Examples that he shared were nurses, librarians, and singers.
Dr. Minnehan told the students to aim high. She also told the students
to try to continue to do well in math and science courses throughout high
school, because it will keep their career options open. She also
pointed out that working in a nontraditional career field can help women
earn a higher income. Both speakers told the students to choose a career
that they would enjoy!
