The study's goal was to look into the factors that influence public Senior High School students' job choices. The study was framed by three research questions and three hypotheses.
The investigation was conducted using a descriptive survey design. With the help of stratified and easy random sample techniques, 186 children, 30 teachers, and 50 parents were chosen to respond to self-designed questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data.
The data revealed that teachers have no substantial influence on students' job decisions. Parental influence is a significant factor in pupils' profession choices. Male and female students are influenced differentially by their peers when making professional decisions. The impact of peers on students' job decisions is unaffected by their age or programme of study.
Conclusion: Peers and parents influence students' career decisions to a large extent. As a result, it is recommended that: School heads collaborate with the counselling unit in schools to organise career workshops for students in order to reduce the influence of stakeholders on students' career decisions. It can be deduced that students' professional intentions are impacted by their friends, particularly female students. Female students have been noted as being more vulnerable in the context of the greater discourse about peers.
