BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Parents are heroes for their children.

They look up to them and they have a great
influence on their children’s career choices.
In children's lives, parental counsel is
crucial and has a big impact, especially on
two big life decisions: getting married and
chosing a career.
(Nawabi, 2019)
 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

1. Is having a seafarer as a family member affects the

choice of a student to take maritime programs?

2. What are the factors affecting the choice of students of

St. Therese-MTC Colleges to pursue marine engineering?

3. What are the roles of the parents on the decision

making of the student?
 HYPOTHESES OF THE STUDY
1.Having a seafarer family member affects the choice of a
student to take marine engineering program.

2.The factors affecting the choice of students of St. Therese-

MTC Colleges to pursue marine engineering are personal
choice, peer choice, parental influence and job opportunity.

3.The parents serve as guide in the decision making of the

students as to their career choice.
