This Bachelor Thesis, entitled "Gender and Profession", considers the current situation of women employed in professions and positions on the job market, which were held traditionally by men. The work also looks at the situation of men in so-called "feminine" professions. Although this topic is being increasingly discussed, the situation hasn't been solved yet. This work should serve as a deeper insight into this issue. It is based on an analysis of interviews carried out with representatives from the particular professions. Respondents answered questions concerning their studies in secondary education and higher (university) education, they described receiving interviews, and they also discussed their relationships in the workplace. They discussed issues regarding the planning of families, current situations in work, potential gender-related problems and so on. The respondents' answers showed an optimistic view regarding the problem of equality, because signs of discrimination did not appear. An alarming result was, however, found regarding the decision of whether to have children or not. In almost every case children were sidelined and assigned secondary importance. The professions researched were: architects, lawyers, doctors and teachers.
