“…This may explain why gifted girls were found to have a lower vocational identity than boys in terms of their career interests, talents, and goals, thus emphasizing the complex career-related issues that confront gifted girls (Leung, 1998). While experiencing gender socialization in their career concerns similar to that of the general female population (Chen, 2008;Coogan & Chen, 2007), gifted girls may encounter additional uncertainty and struggle as they try to make sense of and integrate the giftedness in their career choice and decision making. As a result, gifted girls can, at times, face more dilemmas and challenges in forming their career direction and vocational identity that is compounded by giftedness, along with other gender socialization influences.…”

Despite their high intellectual caliber, gifted high school students may experience very unique barriers and challenges in their career exploration and planning. As such, this group of students need much help when it comes to career guidance and counseling in the school setting. Being cognizant of this reality, the current article attempts to apply key tenets of career development and career counseling theories to the helping context of career guidance and counseling for gifted high school students. It examines the unique career-related barriers and challenges faced by this student population, drawing attention to the complexity of the issue in the context of intellectual giftedness as experienced by the target group. It then proposes theory-informed career guidance and counseling interventions for the target group.

“…These broad issues are reflective of those emphasised in systems and contextual theories of career (e.g. Patton & McMahon, 2006;Young & Valach, 2000, 2008. Each of these contextual influences change as both the child and adult age, and each interact recursively within the family network.…”

“…The influence of children and parents' expectations with respect to an appropriate educational location for them on parents' career decisions was marked (Chen, 2008;Schultheiss, 2007Schultheiss, , 2009Schultheiss, , 2013. In more than one example, children's schooling was raised as more important than the parents' careers.…”

“…Related to this field of study are investigations into the influence of children on adults’ careers. Interestingly, and perhaps not surprisingly, this work continues to focus on work and family role conflict, especially for women (Chen, 2008), although other authors (Richardson & Schaeffer, 2013; Schultheiss, 2013) are attempting to broaden the conversation to consider the roles of females and males in childrearing. Within the vocational psychology literature, it is increasingly being recognised that an individual’s career is impacted not just by the macro societal context in which they live but also by the micro social circumstances that emerge as their work and family lives intersect.…”

In families, decisions about parents' and children's education and career require an ongoing negotiation to reconcile the goals of all family members. This paper describes a project which investigates these decisions within families experiencing whole family relocation based on one adult's work. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with professional workers with school-aged children living in six Australian rural and remote communities. The interview sample included four doctors, 10 teachers, four nurses and nine police. This qualitative phase informed the development of an online survey of a larger sample (n ¼ 278) of the same professional groups, which constituted a second quantitative phase of the research. This paper reports on only one aspect of the survey, that is, the participants' recording of two previous career location moves they had undertaken and the reasons for these. The data emphasise the family project evident in this decision-making process as the respondents deal with a large range of complex individual, family and broader systems' influences in reconciling their own careers and their children's educational opportunities.

“…Gifted girls, on the other hand, may experience gender related barriers similar to that of general female group experienced gender socialization (Chen, 2008). Because of the barriers, the gap widens between the academic success and abilities of gifted girls and their career choices and achievements (Kerr, 1995).…”

The aim of the present study was to examine career decision of gifted students. Participants were consisted of 63 gifted middle school students, fifth through eighth grades, attending a gifted education class within a school. Their ages ranged from 11 to 15. The data was obtained through a survey including questions about demographic information and two open-ended questions about career decisions. The participants' responses were analyzed with content analysis. The results indicated that the most preferred occupational fields by gifted students were engineering, medicine, design, science, defense, space science, law, sports, and business, respectively. Most of the gifted students specified a clear and specific occupation. There were also differences between boys' and girls' occupational preferences. Suggestions for teachers, parents, and further research were also provided based on the results.
