Abstract
The study examined the choice of career in journalism among female mass communication students of the federal polytechnic, Ilaro. Survey research method was used with questionnaire as the instrument of data collection. 120 questions were administered and 108 were retrieved fully. Data was analyzed using SPSS (622). Cognitive theory was used for the framework. The study found out that majority of female mass communication students of the federal polytechnic, Ilaro do not have the intentions of making a career in journalism after graduation. Findings, also showed that female students of mass communication are discouraged from practicing journalism due to gender discrimination, religious and cultural beliefs as well as marital status. The study recommends that institutions offering mass communication encourage more female mass communication students to practice journalism as a profession after graduation. Gender discrimination towards female journalists should be abolished, while husbands should also encourage and support their wives who are graduates of mass communication in taking up journalism as a career.
