ENVIRONMENT AND HOME BACKGROUND AS DETERMINANT OF STUDENTS CAREER CHOICE (A CASE STUDY OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN IJEBU NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF OGUN STATE) (EDUCATION PROJECT TOPICS AND MATERIALS)
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
Every student carries the unique history of his/her past and this determines his/her view of the world. That history created, in part by the student’s locality and background will determine how student make career choices. It then follows that how the student perceives their locality and home background will determine the career choices students make. Career selection is one of many important choices students will make in determining future plans. This decision will impact them throughout their lives. The essence of who the student is will revolve around what the student wants to do with their life-long work. Choosing a career is not like choosing an orange from a basket. According to Weiler (2007) successful career seldom happen by chance with very few exception, people who really get what they want in a career do so because they define their objective plans and schedules for achieving their objectives and assume personal responsibility for implementing and following these plans. These people monitor their progress regularly to improve their plans when they are not getting the desired result and persevere in the face of frequent set back until objectives are achieved.
Many scholars have given their own different meaning to choice and career and some have further stressed their importance and objectives of selecting a better career. The dictionary meaning of career is a way a living profession amongst career of opportunities. Many find it difficult to make choice in the sense that they lack guidance and counseling in making their choice without the help of any person. Several works have been done based on these determinant factors affecting career by students. In the same vein, there is no doubt however that there are many factors responsible for the progress of a child backwardness or retardation. Home background factors (the social-economic status of the parent) and environment factor (from the locality where the child grew up).
