Nowadays the majority of women have entered various fields of work and achieved success. They have proved themselves and left impressions on their occupations. At the same time their occupations have affected them. To what extent does a woman’s occupation affect her personality and way of life?

The “AlYOUM” Arabic daily interviewed women working in different fields. INTESSAR, a lady doctor, said her work has become part of her life. She loves her job and cannot live without it though the duty hours are long and she has to work at night also. But she is unable to spend sufficient time her husband and children comparing to women working in other fields.

MUNJIDA, a mathematics teacher, said the teaching profession has a positive effect on women. It strengthens her personality and enables her to become a social person. If a woman is shy and introvert, the teaching profession will change all this. She will learn to handle matters herself and with confidence. Furthermore, teaching does not have a negative effect on a woman’s role as a mother and wife because the working hours are quite convenient. After school, she has time to do things at home and take care of her husband and children.

AWATIF, a social worker, said it gives her a sense of importance in life, self-confidence and strength in decision making; however, her long absence from home creates a feeling of guilt in her because she cannot care for her family, especially her young children, the way she wants to. But this does not affect her productivity and enthusiasm at work.
