The American workplace is changing. The 1950s image of the white male leaving the wife and family every morning to work his 9-to-5 job has been replaced by dual career families, non-traditional working hours, day care, single parents, and a more diverse workforce. Females and minorities are no longer limited to traditional jobs and professions. However, the fisheries profession, as part of the larger environmental science and resource management field, still fits the 1950s image well.
