Absolutely none of this controls for social factors. Twin studies focus on twins raised separately, since they would have the same genes but a different environment. But unless one of the twins is raised in this society and another is raised in a society without any notion of gender roles, you aren't really demonstrating anything.
I don't think that's necessary. All you'd have to do IMHO is
1) take male identical-twin-raised-separately data about career choice
2) take female identical-twin-raised-separately data about career choice
3) do a multivariate regression analysis of both twin-to-twin and also gender-to-gender; you should be able to derive the statistical relationships between career and sex, and both of these to genetics, and that would demonstrate genetic influence.
Since the correlation between genes and career seems to be positive http://www.aei.org/publication/the-genetics-of-job-choice/, and the correlation of gender and career seems to be positive http://career.iresearchnet.com/career-development/gender-and... (although is claimed to be 100% environmental, according to the blank-slate hypothesis, which I consider a radical position), we can safely assume that some combination of all 3 is also positive, although the actual value requires math.
