I agree with Suzie. I think the inexperience will be more of a hurdle.

There are males working in centres, I went to school with males taking their ECE and interestingly, most of the teachers were males who had/are worked in the field.

Males offer things that we females don't. If you've ever worked in centres, it's kinda neat to see the differences. The males were always the "popular" staff among the kids too!
