Guidance counselors are there to help. They help students and professionals determine ways to achieve their career goals. They evaluate an individual's interests and abilities, advise on possible career pathways and give practical suggestions about how to go about securing a desired position.
Currently, just over 15 percent of the Canadian armed forces are women, but less than 1 percent of the infantry is female. Womenâs integration in the combat arms may be possible but it is likely to involve a tiny number of women.
But since only 2 million veterans and about 200,000 current personnel are women, that overall percentage varies a lot by gender â 1.4 percent of all female Americans have ever served in the armed services, compared to 13.4 percent of all male Americans.
