CAREER DECISIONS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Student career decision-making has attracted research attention in the last two decades especially when it comes to choosing tertiary education. Despite the importance of decision-making skills, there are still limited studies exploring this phenomenon in practice. Therefore, this study aims to explore the potential role of three different platforms including family, learning, and technological environments on the career decisions of university students. A survey about career choices was designed in order to identify the agreement levels of university students in Bosnian higher institutions. The study findings for students' career choices indicate a positive overall picture. Both family and technological environments were found to be influential on students' career choices. However, no impact from learning environment was identified. In order to generalize the findings, further research is required involving other contexts and subject groups. Only by systematically investigating fundamental aspects of students' career choices and by critically examining alternative theoretical decision-making models can further studies continue to progress on this subject matter.
