Findings are presented from a study of 43 advanced professional school students in law and business using in - depth interviews to investigate their orientations to work and family life. Thematic types are developed that identify the orientations of segments within the sample. These types draw on respondents' implicit and explicit definitions of the situation, paying special attention to key assumptions about gender - based work and family roles. Interestingly, the findings indicate a certain degree of asymmetry between the men and the women with respect to how they plan to construct work and family life. The dominant segment of men identified strongly with a modified form of providing, whereas others identified with either a strong or a weak form of egalitarianism. The dominant segment of women were oriented toward a strong form of egalitarianism, with others oriented toward a weak form of egalitarianism, and still others considered remaining single a realistic possibility.
