INTRODUCTION
Choosing a track is critical for making a student highly proficient in the field where his or her chosen track is
related to, especially if the student wishes to work immediately after graduating from Senior High School.

As most educators say, a mismatch in the track and the student's interests, personality and
passion may lead to a poorly knowledgeable graduate who will find it hard to compete in the job
market or keep up with other students when he or she goes to college.

The researchers chose this topic for the students to know what are the factors that
influence the students in choosing Accounting, Business and Management track or strand. The
Accountancy focuses not only for the people who wants to have a business someday but also to
get knowledge about auditing, accounting, and communicating to the investors. According to R.N
Anthony, "Nearly every business enterprise has accounting system. It is a means of collecting,
summarizing, analyzing and reporting in monetary terms, information's about business".

The researchers are conducting this study to open the minds of students about what they
will be when they take the ABM stand.
