Education could be a man's career too
"There is a reward in having a career in which you feel you can contribute to society," Weiss said. "And also you have that intrinsic reward of knowing that what you do,
"Most nales are advised to enter some traditional school, like the School of Business," Weiss said. "There are a lot of men who reach their junior or senior year and realize that they are not happy, that something is missing."
Pat Weiss is a missionary
"Education is historically sort of a catch-all for women," he said. "Just like business is sort of the catch-all for men, or it used to be.
Inger Gustavson, Wichita senior, and Chris Hansen, Westwood senior, both said finances were another factor in deciding whether to choose education as a career.

The motives behind choosing or not choosing education as a career can be defined as either historical/traditional or economic. Weiss said.
you do well, and you enjoy it."
Gustavson said many thought that the man had to be the primary buyer.
"Teaching is a very gratifying job, but when you're looking down the road, thinking of your future and a future family, the gratification just isn't enough," she said.
Ten years later the numbers are different, but the percentages are still the same. Fall 1989 statistics indicate that of the 1,068 undergraduate students enrolled in the school, only 268 are men.
In 1979 there were 1,355 students enrolled in the school, according to statistics from the office of institutional research and planning. Of those, 339 were men.
Hansen said he thought most men might not go into education because the money earned in teaching is barely enough to support more than one person.
Her mission at the University of Kansas is to help men and women understand the value and rewards of entering the School of Education.
"It it is not the most highly paid job," he said. "That might scare some guys off, if they are thinking in this traditional 'guy-support-the-family' type point of view. I'm not."
