The current study investigated the self‐esteem, achievement, and career choices of 218 high school students in a small rural school. The Self‐Esteem Inventory Scores tended to be low. Most students selected occupations traditional for their sex, regardless of their self‐esteem scores. Young women were more likely to consider nontraditional occupations.
