Abstract: In the light of the current problems of modernization of secondary vocational education in Russia, the author substantiates the relevance and presents the results of a study of ideas about the career of students of secondary vocational institutions in Krasnoyarsk. Social images are considered as a form of conceptualization of reality, which is built on the basis of common sense and is an important aspect of the foundations of the activity of social subjects. It is noted that the images are contradictory and thus, their investigation is important to improve the effectiveness of the educational process. We analyze the data of a questionnaire consisting of three blocks aimed at identifying students' perceptions of what a successful and unsuccessful career is; what factors influence the success of a career (General and personal); what is the place of education in career self-determination. The author analyzes the contradictions in students' views that prevent the implementation of the subjective position in building a career: while the career is a procedural characteristic of professional activity, the students' views do not represent its dynamic aspect and the topic of goal formation is poorly represented, the target criterion for career success is highly subjective; goals and means do not differ, merge; the problem of working relationships in the respondents' views is significant for a successful career, but the understanding of one's own role in building them remains uncertain. A productive aspect of students' career ideas is the pronounced significance of education, both basic and supplementary.
