Abstract

Abstract: This study focuses on identifying the factors that influence high school students' career choices. The descriptive research was conducted using a quantitative approach, using structured surveys of high school students from the five main schools in the Machala Canton to collect data on economic motivations, professional aspirations, and career development strategies. The study's findings reveal that family influence, job expectations, and educational guidance and support are the most determining factors in the career choices of high school students who are close to choosing their career. To generate new conclusions, a comparison was made with previous studies by other researchers. This comparison revealed that the influence of teachers on students' final decisions is fundamental. Furthermore, companies in the financial sector are recommended to collaborate with universities to attract and train future professionals. This study provides valuable information for both educational institutions and companies, contributing to a better alignment between academic training and labor market needs in the financial sector.
