Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to primarily describe the factors that affect and influence the choice of a career in Finance in the Puerto Quito canton. The decision to select a university career is crucial, as it will shape the professional future of the students. However, making this decision at the conclusion of the third year of high school requires consideration of various factors. To this end, a descriptive study was conducted, utilizing a structured survey administered to six public schools and two fiscomisional schools, targeting a population of 388 third-year high school students. The results reveal interesting findings, such as the fact that job stability is the most significant factor, reflecting a strong concern for a promising future. Regarding family traditions, the majority of respondents expressed a neutral position, suggesting that parental influence remains significant, while some students prioritize their own preferences. Furthermore, family support is essential, as many students take their relatives' opinions into account when making academic decisions.
