Abstract

Interviews with twenty pre-professional millennial men revealed that while many young men have experienced a maledominated home life in their youth, their experiences in college and early work have led most to believe that in their professional careers female authority figures will be a normal and accepted part of work. Other themes include the desire for more personal and trusting relationships in the work place and a growing acceptance of all people without discrimination. Implications of this study are discussed.
