ABSTRACT
This study attempted to examine whether there is a relationship between school location and career aspirations of students. Some related and relevant literature were reviewed under sub headings such as the concept of career and career choice, theories of career choice, peer influence on career choice among others. The descriptive research survey design was used to assess the opinions of the randomly selected respondents with the aid of a questionnaire and the sampling technique. A total of 120 (one hundred and twenty) respondents were selected as samples for the study. Five null hypotheses were formulated and tested using the frequency percentages, ranking and the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Statistical tool at 0.05 level of significance. Results showed among others that there was no significant relationship between school location and vocational interests of students. It was also revealed that a significant relationship exist between gender and vocational interest.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1Background to the Study
It is quite interesting to hear young people talk about career aspirations and reasons for their choices. Many of them especially, the final year students in the various secondary schools face the problem of choosing a career they will pursue in future (Munoye, 2000). Considering their age, their choices are influenced by many factors such as peer group, parents socio-economic status, sex of the student, interest and motivational level, availability of career information, subject studied at school and so on. According to Mailumo (2001) the problem with career aspirations and choice is further compounded because of the lack of adequate career education, simply put as work-related education, which he says is a strong determinant of career choice. He believes that the individual needs to become aware and well informed of all about the world of work as one of those aspects of human endeavour.
Secondly, there is an acute shortage, if not a complete absence of trained guidance counsellors in most Nigerian schools, especially in public and state schools. This need is well articulated in the revised National Policy on Education (NPE, 2004). The policy states that “in view of the apparent ignorance of many young people about career prospects, and in view of personality maladjustment amongst school children, career officers and counsellors ought to be appointed in post-primary institutions”.
