How do women and men differ when making goals?

Question

I'm doing a presentation and need to find information about the way men and women come up with personal short and long term goals, and how they come up with career goals.

Answer 1

You can't decide this just by gender, it depends a lot on the person, some women make goals thinking about having a family someday, others want to succeed in their careers. The same goes for men, some of them are very family oriented and try to suceed thinking about children someday. I think in general you could say women tend to have their families in mind but that's not always the case.

Answer 2

It comes down to the focus points: i.e. men are about the job because that is where their significance comes from. Ladies have a part in them that thinks/feels about family. This is not bad, it just is!
So the mans' goals are providing for the HOUSEHOLD, whereas women are concerned for the family. Get the difference?

Answer 3

well in my sociology class I learned that men tend to get majors in science/math related fields. And that they want to make a lot of money and are willing to work long hours. While women take jobs that are more low-paying nurturing jobs becuase of the way that they are. Also major in liberal arts and social sciences, or education. Women want a career but not one that will make you work long hours. Also family comes first usually women will want to leave for a temporary or wil leave completely to have a family and take care of them.

Answer 4

Read the book Rich Woman by Kim Kiyosaki. There are some good quotes, ideas and explanations of the difference between men and women goal objectives.

Answer 5

Men tend to compete with other men, I would have thought. I think women probably tend to set their own agendas.
