Career Choices for a Senior High School Strand

Abstract

Career choice is a significant issue worldwide in terms of the developmental lives of learners. This study investigates the level of difficulty faced by grade 10 students when deciding on a career in the senior high school strand. The study involved Grade 10 students of Binoni National High School as respondents to examine the career choices of Grade 10 students in the senior high school strands and tracks. A Likert scale was used in this study, to assess whether the respondents encountered a hard time choosing their career choice for senior highs school. The result revealed an overall weighted mean of 3.61, which has a verbal description of "agree." Therefore, the respondents had a hard time making a decision on what strand and track to choose in their senior high school years. This implies that there is a need for further guidance and counseling with regards to their career choices.
