A non-traditional career is one in which there is a gender imbalance (where less than 25% of the workers are either males or females). For example, in New York State, men are less than 25% of Registered Nurses; women are less than 25% of police officers.

Why consider a non-traditional career? Those careers can offer:

  • Interesting and rewarding employment opportunities
  • Higher wages and better benefits
  • Opportuinites for advancement
  • Increased job satisfaction

Non-Traditional careers for women:

Business Administration
Computer Support Technology
Criminal Justice
Culinary Arts
