This article investigates the accessibility of any career-related levers available to women to enhance opportunity during their early work experience. Such "levers" were found to be minimal, and it was discovered that young women are unlikely to benefit from job changes or from adjustments in their disposition toward work and their jobs. Results indicated that the way to get ahead as a woman is to be intelligent, to get as much education and training as possible, and to land a good first job.
