The Influence of Parents and Society Expectations on Student Career Choices: The Role of Academic Counselling in Balochistan

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This research discovers the influence of parental and societal burdens on career adoptions among students in Balochistan, with a specific focus on the role of academic counselling. A survey of 281 students divulges momentous external influences, mostly in the fields of medical and engineering, driven by outmoded opinions about job sanctuary. The study also recognizes a serious gap in access to career counselling facilities, mainly for female students, which aggravates misunderstandings about substitute career domains. The results highlight the necessity for effective counselling to aid students make conversant choices that align with their individual interests and goals, rather than surrendering to exterior pressures.
