The purpose of this paper is to analyze how career choice and factors that influence them differ between female and male. The main research instrument was a questionnaire given to 124 Administrative and Diplomatic Service Officers attending a course. The findings revealed that decisions made on career choice did not differ significantly among different sexes. Indeed, factors that control a person's career choice do not depend on gender. This is consistent with findings which showed that career dominance by a certain sex is a thing of the past.
