This article presents the situation of young female graduates in the field of engineering, showing Hungarian trends and presenting experiences of a few graduates in mechanical engineering. In the Hungarian labour market for young graduates, the separation of preferences in the choice of profession by gender can be easily observed. While men generally choose the fields of technology, IT, sales, logistics and production, women tend to prefer marketing, human resources, sales, finance, and media-related jobs. For a young female graduate at the present time, getting a better-paid job with prospects of a rising career is already often equal to giving up the dream of raising a big family, early child-bearing. Moreover they often also suffer from other forms of gender-specific discrimination, for example in situations where interviewers are not embarrassed to ask so-called "forbidden" questions at job interviews.
