Education provides knowledge and helps develop important skills for defining career goals and preparing for the workforce. An educated person is more likely to be hired than a non-educated person. Overall, most people are not successful in their careers without a good educational foundation. Gender discrimination occurs when someone receives less favorable treatment due to their gender, and can be direct like refusing to hire someone due to their gender, or indirect like requiring military experience without good reason. Discrimination is sometimes allowed for certain jobs like modeling or performances requiring a specific gender.
