When we leave school, the problems of choosing a future profession become
especially important Some young people go to
Universities to learn the skills and knowledge necessary for
a future occupation and others start to work at once. There is a lot of
information how to help young people to choose the proper
profession based on numerous tests and trainings.

there are more girls at certain departments and practically only boys at other
departments. Why does it happen?

biological factors because, for example, men are able to
work loading workmen while women will simpy have no
opportunity to work there as physical power is needed.

or a secretary. So, practically there are no female professions but there are
