Abstract

Career choice is one of the most important decision to be made throughout an individual’s life, especially students. The study aims to investigate the factors affecting career choice namely; family influence, personal interests, economic considerations, and career adaptability, among students in Polytechnic Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah (POLIMAS), Jitra, Kedah. A total of number of 286 students responded to the questionnaire and only 278 were usable for analysis. The data has been analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0 software. Several statistical tools were used such as Cronbach’s Alpha reliability test,
descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis. The result of this study showed that all independent variables namely; family influence, personal interests, economic considerations, and career adaptability have significant and
positive relationship to career choice. It is recommended for future studies to extend the sample size to include unemployed graduates, students from both public and private universities, as well as students from various disciplines.
