According to three studies on factors influencing students' career preferences: 1. A 1994 study found that students' self-concept had no significant influence on their career preferences, while their academic achievement did influence their preferences. The school attended also had no influence. 2. A 2003 study found that family background like low education and income levels solely influenced career course choices and preferences did not match students' intelligence levels. 3. A 2007 study found that personal interests, abilities, skills, and values were the most influential factors in students' chosen occupations.

According to the study conducted by Siguan Jr.

(1994), it was found out that the students


self-concept showed no significant influence on their career preferences. The academic
achievements of students proved to be significant related to their career preferences. The school
were students came from had no influence on their choice of career. He recommends that a more
improved and functional guidance provided in school to help students make sound career
choices. The guidance services in school must be collaborative efforts of the administrator,
guidance counselors, and teachers. Classroom teachers are encouraged to do their best in
improving teaching learning processes, considering that academic achievement of student
influences their career preferences. Another study conducted by Almerino (2003), it was found
out that a big picture of a big family with low educational attainment and inadequate investment
was the sole foundation of choosing a course, which was psychologically motivated. The
respondents level of preferred intelligence did not match to their chosen course. This could be
drawn from the required level of the course in contrast with their level of preferred intelligence.
The necessity of developing a career development program was need in order to prevent
any misfits and to assist students in the process of crystallizing their career in life. She
recommended that this program be effectively implemented.
Personal interests, abilities, skills, and values are the most influential factors in coming
chosen occupation by the participants according to Pabiton (2007). These imply that like other
graduating students in high school students, the participants seemed to have chosen occupation.
She also noted that the students be given all the chances to learn and develop the skills and
attitudes required for various occupations. She recommends that career counselors could give
more emphasis on this environmental factor during individual and small group career counseling.
