Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education in the Department of Educational Psychology, University of Zululand, 2004. / This study investigates the influence of career education on career choices. The aim was to find out if there is any significant difference amongst learners in their career choices. The second aim was to establish the relationship, if any between gender and career choices.
To this end, a questionnaire was administrated to a representative sample of high school learners from Aquadene Secondary and Richards Bay Secondary in the Empangeni District of Education.
The present study revealed that there is a significant relationship between learners' fields of study and their career choice. Findings also reveal that there is no relationship between learners' gender and their career choice. This shows that there is very little difference between male and female learners choice of careers. As a result learners are choosing careers across various fields irrespective of gender.
