Abstract
A nationwide questionnaire survey was administered to 215 high school students to examine their career decision-making process. The results showed that female students were more likely to choose vocational schools and medical–allied fields (e.g., nursing, health, and hygiene fields), whereas male students were more likely to choose science, engineering, and agriculture fields. Regarding people and things that influence career decisions, males were more influenced by their fathers and newspapers, whereas females were more influenced by their mothers and friends, TV programs, social networking sites, and family financial situation. For some females, adults in family leadership positions were a disincentive to make
career decisions.
