If girls and boys are raised to be confident and enthusiastic students, then most likely they will have the confidence to pursue whatever career choice they want.

Most likely, teenagers don't really know much about the different careers available. 

If they watch a lot of television, they probably see tv shows about doctors, police,  FBI, CSI, journalists, tv reporters, lawyers, singers, actors. 

Not much tv shows about engineers, computer programmers, scientists, investment bankers, university professors.

Some girls/ women are very smart. This cannot be denied. Your smart female classmates. Women currently working in high stress or high paying jobs.

I am concerned about both boys and girls who lose interest in school, math, science, etc because school, math and science are not considered cool or interesting.

And if your kids are not interested in math and science, that's okay. There are other subjects and jobs available.
