The aim of this paper is to analyze the professional choices of students from the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS), problematizing them with the debate of gender relations that permeate social relations. Methodologically, we conducted the bibliographic research referring to the categories "gender", "professional choices" and "profession"; and documentary research in the Statistical Yearbooks. The results revealed that unequal gender relations and the sexual division of labor in the professional choices of UFS students. The areas where the largest number of women predominate are the areas of health and education, and the exact and technological areas remain a field with little female participation, confirming the existing gender inequality in career choices and, consequently, in the labor market job.
