ABSTRACT
In the last two chapters, I have discussed the adolescent Muslim girls’ experience of schooling and their subsequent educational plans. This chapter looks further into the future and elucidates the girls’ ultimate career hopes by investigating the career choices of British ethnic minorities, the myth of unrealistic aspirations and the nature of career guidance offered to the girls. However, in order to fully cognise the occupational ambitions of the adolescent Muslim girls, we have to set them in the wider context of the career aspirations of women.
