 CHAPTER 1

PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Education experts believe that collaboration regarding career selection

between a child and a parent should be done in a manner that transform both

ideologies into vivid productivity. Parental pressure play a role in career choices.

They might make us pursue the career they want or fight for the career we love.

Parent only want the best for us. Although parents are the one who know their

wards the best than any other person, yet they should not influence them to

choose a career for their future. So, let the children make their own career choice

and not by parents or family influence.

College students choose their jobs fields for many reasons. The factors

that affect this decision include family, passion, salary, and past experiences .In

addition to these factors, race and gender can also affect what field a students

may choose. Some professions have greater percentage of a certain gender or

race .Parental serve as a major influence in their children's career development

and career decision making. Parents want their children to find happiness and
success in career choice. The expectations parents have for their children's

education and career.

Parents serve as a major influence in their children's career development

and career decision making. Parents want their children to find happiness and

success in life and one factor which influences happiness and success is career

choice. Research also indicates that when students feel supported and loved by

their parents, they have more confidence in their own ability to research careers

and to choose a career that would be interesting and exciting. Parents influence

the level of education or training that their children achieve the knowledge they

have about work and different occupations; the benefits and attitudes they have

to working; and the motivation they have to succeed .Most of this is learned

unconsciously children and teenagers absorb their parents attitudes and

expectations of them as they grow up.

Middleton and loug head (1993) talk of how parents can be an important

and positive influence in decisions affecting a young person's vocational

development. Though they also warn that over-involvement in the decision

making process can undermine parental effects as a positive source of

influence.

Parent should be cautioned against imposing their own goals on to their

children or seeing their child's accomplishments as a reflection on themselves so

while parents should show genuine interest and support for their adolescents

career plans, they must allow adolescents to discover who they are on their own.

Some teen agers fear the disapproval of their parents if they pursue a career in

art/drama/music as a opposed to a practical high earning occupation such as law

or medicine. If parents make it clear that they have no specific expectations for

their child career, he/she will feel free to explore a greater variety of professions

,choosing one based on their own preferences rather than those of their parents.

The purpose of this research is to know the respondents of having best

decision when it comes in choosing college courses and to have an objective,

which decision is greater, for the parents or the students.
