What jobs are there for historians?

Why did certain jobs become "women's" jobs and what jobs are becoming dominated by women?

  • It seems to me that jobs like teaching and nursing were not always jobs that were held predominately by women.  What caused the shift, when did it happen, and what jobs are becoming female-majority jobs?  If my assumptions are incorrect, please correct them.

  • Answer:

    I cannot find the article now (dammit!) but psychiatry/psychology/mental health profession is fast becoming female dominated. (If someone could point me in the right direction I would totally write a better answer.)

Women now outnumber men in medical school admissions. It seems like women tend to go for primary care, pediatrics, and Ob/Gyn however, while men go for the more lucrative careers in specialty fields. I think nursing has pretty much always been women though. Note that "nursing" also means breastfeeding.
