Sažetak
In addition to education, based on statistics, it is evident that ambition is a crucial factor when it comes to building a career and pursuing success. More ambitious people tend to strive for greater accomplishments and achieve a higher level of education and independence (in both personal and professional aspects of life). Previous research show that, even though the distribution of graduate degrees among women and men is similar, fewer women are working in executive- level jobs because women need to overcome more social, organizational and personal barriers to higher work positions. The goal of research conducted among students at Algebra University College was to examine if there is a gender gap in the level of ambition and career aspiration among male and female students because of the gender differences that were spotted among the workforce. The results of the conducted research have shown that there are some differences between male and female students when it comes to level of self- esteem and career aspiration, but there is no significant gender gap in ambition level among students.
