Interview at least two fellow college students regarding their work and family expectations (these can include, but are not limited to expectations regarding marriage, children, household responsibilities, career goals, etc.). You should interview at least one man and one woman. Describe their career and family goals. Given what you know about sex-segregation in the labor market, the gender pay gap, the gendered division of labor within the family, the meaning and experience of family caregiving and other pertinent issues discussed in class, do their expectations seem realistic? In what ways might their expectations change as they enter the full-time work- force? As they enter relationships? Are their expectations guided by traditional family arrangements? By traditional work arrangements? Is it likely that their goals will need to be curtailed or amended? Explain your assessment of these issues by backing them up with evidence from the readings and other course materials.
