Since Barbie's introduction as a teenage fashion model in 1959, the doll has been portrayed with many careers. Dolls are sold with sets of clothes and accessories that fit the career being portrayed. For example, the Lifeguard Barbie playset includes a Barbie, an outfit with shoes, a lifeguard chair, a dolphin, and a life preserver, while the Spanish Teacher Barbie includes a Barbie, an outfit with shoes, flashcards, a Spanish quiz, an easel, a notebook, a key chain, and a hairbrush. Each career is created to give children the option of exploring new careers and help them learn new things. For example, Barbie went to the moon, in 1965, before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin did in 1969. She even was an executive in 1963 when it was uncommon for females to be in that male-dominated field. According to Mattel, Barbie has had over 200 careers, recently including more STEM fields.
