INTRODUCTION
where the possibilities are vast and diverse. But what truly influences their career
choices? Is it a spark of personal interest? The push from parents? The inspiration of a
favorite teacher or role model? Or maybe the realities of job availability and income
potential? For many Humanities and Social Science students, the answer is a unique mix
of all these factors and more. Their decisions can be influenced by outside factors such as
personal factors and external factors. With countless possibilities ahead, many struggle to
find a path that aligns with their passions, skills, and future aspirations. External
pressures from family, society, and job market demands often add to their uncertainty,
making the decision even more complex. The lack of proper career guidance and the fear
of financial instability further contribute to their anxiety about the future. Given these
Research has shown several common factors that influence the students career
decision. According to Nazareno et.al (2021), parents play an essential role in shaping
their children’s personalities as they grow. As students’ primary support system, they can
influence their educational aspirations, work ethics and values, and motivation.
Furthermore, a study by Mohebi (2024), indicates that personal interests and passions
significantly guide students toward careers that align with their hobbies and skills.

their financial standing. These common factors shows the effectiveness of influencing the
multiple factors that influence career choices. Based on the study conducted by Almario
(2021), entitled “Factors Affecting Career Decision of SHS in Central Luzon,” various
factors are influencing career choices among students, especially those in the Humanities
and Social Sciences strand. Some of the factors that are included are the socio-economic
profile of students, personal and academic abilities, and awareness of market trends and
job opportunities. Additionally, the study highlights the issue of unemployment due to the
mismatch between the individual skills and the workforce. It also emphasizes the
In observing the students from the Humanities and Social Sciences strand in the
University of Cebu, the researchers observed that various factors influencing their career
choices were evident. Parental expectations played a significant role, with many students
noting the pressure to align their choices with family aspirations, often prioritizing
financial stability over personal interests. Financial concerns also surfaced, particularly
career paths like teaching or government work. Despite these external influences, several
students showed a genuine passion for Humanities and Social Science disciplines,
actively engaging in discussions about culture, society, and human behavior. However, a
3
lack of accessible professional guidance left some students uncertain about aligning their
interests with practical career opportunities, highlighting the need for targeted support.
This study focuses on understanding the unique factors influencing the career
choices of Humanities and Social Sciences students. While previous research has
extensively covered areas like peer influence, job market awareness, and career guidance
programs, less emphasis has been placed on the roles of personal interests and famil
population. By addressing these aspects, this study aims to provide valuable insights into
how personal and familial dynamics influence career paths, offering a deeper
understanding that could help improve support systems and guidance strategies for
Furthermore, this study aims to investigate the various factors that influence
students' career choices. Career decision-making is a critical process that can significantly
understanding these influences, educators and counselors can provide more effective
guidance and support to students as they navigate their options. The findings may
contribute to the development of improved career programs that promote informed and
confident decision-making.

This theory suggests that career choices are influenced by learning experiences,
environmental conditions, genetic factors, and task approach skills. Krumboltz identifies
four key factors that impact career decisions and these are: Genetic Endowments and
Special Abilities, Environmental Conditions and Events, Learning Experiences and, Task
Approach Skills. Krumboltz later expanded his theory with the Planned Happenstance
Theory, which highlights the role of chance events in shaping career paths and
highly relevant to our study on the factors influencing career choice of Humanities and
Social Sciences (HUMSS) students. The theory explains that career decisions are shaped
skills (Krumboltz, 1996). In the context of Humanities and Social Science students, their
interactions with teachers and mentors, societal expectations, and available career
opportunities. By applying this theory, our study can analyze how both external
influences and personal learning experiences shape the career preferences of Humanities
and Social Science students, providing insights into effective career guidance strategies.

Another theory that supports this study are by Deutsch and Gerard's Social
Influence Theory (1955) posits that conformity arises from two fundamental human
motivations: the desire for accuracy (informational influence) and the need for social
leading to genuine belief change. While normative influence is the desire to fit in and
understanding the group's beliefs. Our beliefs and behaviors are often formed by the
This theory relates to the study as this provides a logical and relevant basis in
terms of how individuals' behavior and attitude can be shaped by group of society and
influence, we can better analyze how people conform in various situations—whether due
to a genuine belief in the group's knowledge or simply to avoid standing out. This insight
This study is corroborated by Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) that was
developed by Lent Brown, and Hackett in 1994. Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT)
explains how career interest, choices, and achievements are influenced by self-efficacy,
outcome expectations, and personal goals. Based on the Social Cognitive Career Theory
6
of Bandura, SCCT highlights the individual beliefs and environmental factors in shaping
career decision-making. Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) suggests that career
decisions making is not just affected by the factor called personal interests, but also by
the opportunities and obstacles. Insufficient financial support, limited access to quality
education, and social pressure might be the obstacles that could influence how the
students perceive their career choices in the future (Lent et al., 1994, as cited in Wang et
practice (Elger,2007).
In the context of this study, the Social Cognitive Career Theory is particularly
beneficial to the framework as this highlights how students' self-concepts and anticipated
outcomes guide their career decisions. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the important
role of external influences, such as family and peers, in shaping the students' career paths,
aligning the social cognitive career theory (SCCT) structure. By understanding these
factors, this study can help educators and counselors offer better support to students as

further noted that parental education, profession, and income significantly influence
students' career choices. Educated parents provide better resources and guidance, leading
to more informed decisions. Parental professions expose students to specific career paths,
shaping their aspirations. Financial stability enables access to quality education and

classmates influence each other when making career choices in high school. The study
showed that students often turn to their friends for support, advice, or even as examples
of what to do. These findings highlight the importance of how the group dynamic and

their career decision ; and 3) coping strategies and advice from the decision.
This study is significant as it aims to provide valuable insights into the various
factors that influence the career choices of Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS)
students at the University of Cebu – Main Senior High School Campus. Understanding
these factors is crucial for guiding students in making informed and meaningful career
decisions. For students, this study will help them become more aware of the internal and
external influences shaping their career paths, enabling them to reflect on their choices
and make decisions aligned with their interests, values, and goals. For educators and
10
guidance counselors, the findings will offer a deeper understanding of students’ needs
and concerns, allowing them to develop more effective career guidance programs and
interventions tailored to the HUMSS strand. For parents and guardians, the study may
highlight the importance of their role in supporting and influencing their children's career
decisions, encouraging more open communication and informed involvement. Lastly, for
future researchers, this study can serve as a foundation for further investigation into
career decision-making processes among senior high school students, particularly within
among five Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) students at the University of Cebu
- Main Senior High School Campus. The research focuses on career decisions within a
recent five-year period, using interviews as the only data collection method. Specifically,
it aims to identify the individuals who have the most significant impact on these students'
career choices, limiting the scope to this specific population and time frame. This study
aims to investigate the factors that influence career choice among senior high school
students in the University of Cebu Pri. In this case, voices must be heard in taking their
career choice as it may be their passion or their dream. Career is your future that must be
planned to choose the correct path you will be taking. A lot of factors influence students
by choosing their career choice especially when thinking about their current situation.

Discussion
As support from the major themes, it was explained by Ouano et al. (2019), who
emphasized that institutional factors, personal interests, and peer influence significantly
shape students’ career decisions. One of the most prominent themes identified in this
15
study is parental influence. The participants expressed that their parents' expectations
played a crucial role in shaping their career decisions. This aligns with the findings of
Nazareno et al. (2021) and Gurunathan (2024), who emphasized how parents, as primary
support systems, influence students’ motivation, work ethic, and aspirations. For some
students, this influence led to prioritizing careers with financial stability, often at the
expense of their personal interests or passions. Another significant theme is the role of
personal interest and passion. These interests often developed through exposure to
supports Mohebi (2024) and Chelagat et al. (2023), who noted that passion and alignment
with hobbies and values strongly guide students’ choices. The influence of peer and
societal pressure also emerged as a relevant factor. Some students admitted that they look
up to their friends and classmates when thinking about future careers. As well as the
pressure that they got from the people that surrounds them. This echoes the studies of
Madhavan et al. (2019) and Nasayao III (2025), who found that students often conform to
popular choices within their peer groups, either to fit in or to follow what is perceived as
successful or socially acceptable. Lastly, Financial constraints and job market trends
leaned toward practical and cost-effective career paths, such as becoming public school
teachers or civil servants. This confirms the study of Parker et al. (2020), which
highlighted how students’ socioeconomic status can influence them to pursue more stable
Based on Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) career interest are greatly
influenced by some factors. (SCCT) believes that choosing a career path is not only
affected by the factor called personal interest but also the obstacles and challenges faced.
Lack of support is a challenge that a student faces in choosing a career (Lent et al., 1994,
as cited in Wang et al., 2022). (SCCT) highlighted how students view outcomes to guide
their career decision. Furthermore, the study shows importance in shaping the students
career path.
