THE PROBLEM
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
When students were young, they often asked
themselves of what they want to be when they grow up.
Students depend their choices based on their
amazement and the person they idolized. Dreaming was
limitless. But growing up the closer they get to
choose their career path. The things consider change
overtime. Making it hard for someone to choose what
to choose. Nowadays, Teenagers find it hard to choose
what career path they are going to take. Grade 10
students have no idea on what they want nor they have
any idea what opportunities are available in the
future. Students should know what are their skills
and abilities that will enable them to know what are
the suitable career path for them. Being interested
in a particular career is very important in decision
making. It is not a straight forward task and it
involves a difficult process of decision making.
All people experienced choosing career they are
going to take and choosing career is an important
stage in ones’ lives. Grade 10 student do not have
any idea of what they want. All they know is they are
going to choose a career/track/strand. Students also
experienced being confused or unaware of our career
path. For now, students were still unsure of what
path of career will suit on their interest. Students
do not have a clear vision of what they want. Going
back before choosing, there are many factors to be
considered before ending up on your final decision.
When choosing a career, they should think it wisely
because a wrong choice can sometimes lead to failure,
disappointment. Some of the students do not end up
taking the career path they want because they were
influenced by the people around them. But some of
1
them take this path because these are the tracks
available offered by the school. So, choosing the
career they do not want or does not fit them will
sometimes make them regret. So they should be wise on
choosing the career they want as their choice that
will have a great impact in their future.
According to Dr. A.S. Kazi pp.187-196, (2017),
Making a choice is a defining phase on every
student's life. Students have to consider several
factors before arriving at a decision, one wrong
choice can lead to failure and disappointment. That
is why they must be careful on what they choose,
because if they choose the course they do not want,
this may affect their life as a person in the
community. Career has a big impact on their future,
it will determine their identity and role in society
in the future. In choosing career preferences they
must know their interest, values, personality,
strengths and weaknesses.
This study gives awareness on Grade 10 students
why they need to choose their career preferences. It
is valuable to choose career preferences as it gives
an important role in their lives. This is a part of
the steps on achieving their goals in lives in the
future. It is the one that identify their future
role. Likewise, this also helps them to be aware on
what and how to manage their personal circumstances
in life. Moreover, choosing career preferences can be
a starting point in terms of pursuing their goals in
the future. Being able to choose path that is
suitable and matched their desired interest in life
can be a basis that they choose that right path and
the decision making very well. The career path that
they choose can be a classification of what they want
to do in their life in terms of works and
opportunities.
The purpose of this study is to determine the
factors that affects the Grade 10 students in
choosing their career preferences. The factors that
affect the Grade 10 students in choosing their career
2
path will lead, because of the situation inside the
house of the students or family, trends in the
community, Senior High School offerings, friends, and
even themselves. Factors that affect Grade 10
students in terms of career choice is important
because it gives them an idea on why they cannot
choose or select easily what was their desired career
path in life.

CHAPTER 2
RELATED LITERATURE
Having a career preference is very important to
every student since it is the one that classify the
phases where they are suitable enough in some kind of
courses in the future. Knowing themselves are example
of classifying what are the suitable career for them
due to their capabilities and skills as a person.
Making a choice is a great and incredible stage where
they should balance what are their preferences in
terms of something they do or they always do in their
everyday life.
According to Penedilla and Rosaldo (2007), Young
students have diverse dreams and interest in life.
There is an old adage which inspires people to
succeed:” If there is a will, there is a way”. In
choosing a career, suitability to the interest of the
students is given importance.
Likewise, choosing a career gives importance on
suitability and interest of the students. It is one
of the factors that a student must consider before
choosing the right career path he/she is going to
7
take. The suitability and interest are one of the
major factors to consider because if the students
choose the career, he/she do not want it may lead to
failure or disappointment. “If there is a will, there
is a way”, it is the adage that makes people inspire
to do what they want, if they love what they are
doing there is a way or there is a possibility that
they can be successful in that path they take.
Nowadays, students have dreams that they want are
their interest. So, it is important to know the
students' interest so that they can choose wisely.
According to Super’s (1990), Developmental theory
of career development, High School students are at
the exploration stage of career development, which
involves crystallizing and specifying their
occupational preferences, while also making
preliminary decisions about their career choice.
The above related literature focuses on the
students' career development. Moreover, at this stage
student have to make career decisions for them to
explore. So, students must know first what are their
specific talents, skills, abilities and capabilities
in life for them to be able to select the suitable
career path they are going to take. It is the
smartest way to develop their career as they explore
what were the particular career path are suitable for
them. Through these they can lessen some mistakes on
choosing decisions that will make them regret and
will lead them into a somewhat catastrophe in their
lives.
According to Psychology.com (2017), Being
adolescent can be extremely lonely. It is not unusual
to have a feeling that there is no one turn to when
problems come arise. This is the stage where major
decisions and peer concern affect the courses of
their lives. Most adolescents are pressured to
perform and succeed, which experience severe stress
in meeting these expectations. In the related
literature above focuses on the adolescents facing a
8
problem due to making major decisions in life.
Decisions that will determine their future courses.
Furthermore, it also stated that being adolescent
has some problems that dealing on it will make a big
impact on their emotions in life. Moreover, it is the
reason why most of the students are pressured and
stressed to just meet the expectations for them. Due
to these being an adolescent can be merely defined as
a lonely phase in ‘their lives. So, students must
focus on the goal that they want to pursue in the
future not just the only the wants that the society
want they want to be. They do not need to fit on what
the standards of the society they might consider
their own feelings and likings in life. It is
important to choose what career path they want to
avoid stress and depression.
According to Holland (2017), Career choice is an
important process that people go through in their
lives, especially for those who seek work
satisfaction. John Holland developed a theory
suggesting that career is determined by the
interaction between personality and development.
Choosing career involves the factor of their own
personality, they must consider this factor as this
will determine what they want, this will help them
identify what they want in the future. Environment
also help them determine the career that the grade 10
students will choose. Environments involves the
people around them that can affect their career
choice. every student should choose their career
preference, as it is an important step that people go
through in their lives. So, it is a must that
students should consider the factors that will affect
them in their choice.
According to Fizer (2013), Choosing the right
career that is becoming more and more important for
young students today. Students have to take into
account many things when choosing career and college
major. Many factors can influence a student’s
9
decision, including parent, coaches, religious
figures, or any role models in a student’s life.
This literature states that choosing career
becomes one of the most important stages in student’s
life. In choosing career, there are many steps and
factors to be considered to come up on a final
decision that will make the students be satisfied of
the career choice he/she may choose. A student’s
decision, including parents, coaches, religion
figures or any role model in a student’s life are
just some of the factors that will influence the
student's decision. Many factors can influence every
choice of every individual that will lead them to
make their final choice.
RELATED STUDIES

According to the study written by Sharif, et al.,
IBT Journal of Business Studies 15(1),33-46(2019),
entitled “Factors Influencing Career Choices”. This
study attempted to explore the roles of Mothers,
Fathers, Tutors, Future Income, Future Status and
Societal difference by labelling all of such factors

students. The result of the study highlighted the
relative importance of various career choice
influences & that averages of variables of influence
are statistically different F (4.215,699.727)
=27.405, P.

Naong(2012), entitled" Factors influencing students’
career choice and aspiration in South Africa”. The
study found that the family; the ability of the
