Introduction

Family is a place in which children learn to realize the realities, parents serve significant
decoders to children for information about the planet and youngster’s ability. Children from their
attitude of work and career is a result of interaction with the family. Family background provides
the idea on which a student’s career planning and selecting develops. However, within each
family, the degree of involvement can very positively or negatively.

Significance of the study

Students succeed in school when certain features are put under control, some of these includes to
make sure that the child diet is well at family, get enough sleep, does his work checked by both
his teachers and parents, has his school stuff, gets enough motivation from their parents, useful
information should be given to the child so they can make the right decision for their career to
guide futures generation. So the result of the above discussion is, the students will support
parents to have vision into the behavior and needs of their children. The purpose of this study is
to disclose the factors that boost the choice of students in secondary schools.

Literature review

Parents and main caregivers deliver the highest effect and support in their children’s lives. This
investigation recommends helping caregivers and analysts by giving the necessary information to
support students in defining the needs. If parents and school counselors work together, students
can be directed to careers early.

 Career development process

Career development demonstrates long- 23 span and great impact on young persons (Larson
&Majors, 1The supreme career decision maker shows awareness of his or her need to make a
career decision. The individual shows inclination to make such a decision and can make the
decision “right.”

 Overview of career theories

The method persons think can tremendously affect the way they develop their career and choose
professions. Another major hypothetical method is trait and factor models, which are deep rooted
in the work of Frank Parsons.

 Career development theory

The Public Intellectual Career Theory signifies a position that tries to suggest some of the
intricate contacts between persons and their career related framework, between mental and social
factors, and between self-directed and externally imposed impacts on career.

Method

The method we used to study is quantitative and qualitative research. By directing both
method study, we can analyze the data. The use of both qualitative and quantitative research
methods provides a better understanding. To collect the data, the following survey and
calculations were used.

Data analysis
I find two research questions for this study. There are one quantitative and one qualitative
research in this study. I used qualitative methods to study the second research question. I used
standard deviation equation to find the quantitative research. A standard deviation equation will
examine the first and third null hypothesis by organizing whether parents and caregivers
influenced career selection and career development or not. Through these researches we can
understand the role and influence of parents in career selection and development.

Recommendations

The purpose of this research was to develop a better understanding of parent contribution in the
activities and behaviors of the children. Following are the recommendations that can solve this
problem.

  Attended academic ceremonies and events

 Encouraged decision making

Conclusion

Parents verified their contribution and support to their child’s secondary educational needs.
They make their child to develop their interest in athletics, academic organizations, performing
arts, and other events or activities. Parents also participated in the activities that were related to
their child’s school. Student also show through their responses that their parents known the value
of education. Parents also support their children with homework assignments, projects, and
research papers. They also contact with teachers to know their child’s academic performance. As
the child development from high school to college takes place parent’s involvement decreases
while their support increases. Eventually, parents gave no influence, no support or involvement.
This make the students find more difficulty in identifying a parent who is most supportive in the
process of identifying and selection of a profession.
