Effects of course-taking on choice of science and math majors were stronger for women than for men. For women, 8th-grade math test scores positively influenced math course-taking in high school, which in turn positively influenced later choice of science and math majors. For men, completing high school physics had a significant positive effect on choice of science and math majors. These and other findings are discussed in terms of career theory and counseling and education practice.
