INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Occupational
choice is not an easy process, when an individual is confronted with choice
making in career, there are certain prevailing factors which may determine his
choice. Among these factors are personality, environment, experiences,
religion, academic achievement, family socio-economic status and according to
Roe (2000), the individuals needs also determine the kind of job he may like to
engage in based on the above factors, whether realistic vocational choices are
made by our youths in their university school years should be a matter of
serious concern to all educational agents and most especially our parents.
There
are lots of causes and effect issues in life and in the field of vocational
(career) choices, these can be observed in the various factors like factors and
values like parents, teacher, peer group that affect the choice of an
individual’s vocation. The issue of choice is always a torn in the flesh of
most students especially business education students in Oforola Owerri West
Local Government Area of Imo State. It is important to know that for anyone to
make rational and realistic choice, the individual most be well informed so
that he or she will not be influenced by any factors. Research shows that
supportive and attentive parenting practices positively effect academic
achievement (Egmon, 2005) in addition high parent aspirations have been
associated with increasing students interest in education (Major Banks, 2005).
In
fact, even when young adults move away from home (for colleges or for work),
their family will likely still have a life events – marriage and their career
(Larson, 1995).
The importance of
parental influence upon their children in neglecting or choosing business
education as a career choice is consistently important, even across gender and
racial lines. Although schools, peers and the student’s community all have an
impact on the young adult’s self – identity and career choice, the parents
expectations and perceptions of vocational fit for their children have been
found to be the key roles in shaping their career choices (Ferry, 2006). In one
study (Creamer & Laughlin, 2005), this influence has been so strong as to
override the influence of teachers, faculty, career counselors, who likely know
more about the career field in question but were not as well–known and/or
trusted as the student’s parents’ for this type of decision. Innovations
relating to business education have been introduced as a way of reducing
“waste” of talent often associated with conventional schools.
