to make a choice of career between several familiar options.
In the
traditional society the child learnt by limitations the parents, but today the
situation has changed with formal education the understanding with formal
education the understanding of most parents about the prevailing condition in
schools in limited with the diversification in the number of possible care3er
choice has become more difficult also with academics and vocational training,
