The Mishna at the end of Masechet Kiddushin speaks about various trades that should be avoided because of the challenges of Tzniut. The art of choosing the right occupation requires a particular perspective, a worl view that is predicated upon faith and the acknowledgement that ultimatly it is the Master of the Universe the Provider for all Who determines wealth & poverty. In deciding a trade one must be sensitive to the the laws of צניעות & avoid those occupations that require a constant involvement with clients of the opposite gender. Certain trades should be avoided because they present great challenges to honesty & morality. A Father should teach his son Torah because it is the merit of Torah that will protect the person thru life.
