1.1 Career Expectations
SUMMARY A person’s personal interests influence his or her career
choices. The advice and experience of others and education and skills training will also influence career choices.
U.S. teens have high expectations for their career future. However, the influence of others—especially parents and other family members, teachers, and friends—will have the greatest influence on their career decisions.
U.S. teens’ career preferences often do not match the reality of the career demands of the future.
