If you watched the video of Jordan Peterson he explains with insightful clarity why people choose various occupations. And there is very little we can do about it. Ask the Swedes -- the most progressive people on the face of the planet -- what happened after they tried to engineer their society based on gender equity in various occupations. (Hint: 20 years later the results were the exact opposite of what left-leaning social scientists had predicted.)
I'd like to see an example of a high school teacher or principal admonishing a talented, driven student that they "can't be a pilot (lawyer, doctor ...)"
Let people do their own thing.
I haven't seen a talented, driven student not be told he can't be a "pilot, doctor lawyer, etc...", but I have seen a guidance counselor walk into a classroom at a DOD school and give college and scholarship information to only officers kids and white kids while giving black kids information for taking the asvab to enlist in the army. Subtle, but with the same intent and results. It does happen.
