Background of the Study
Introduction
Most students are making sure what course they take when they go to
College but there are potential obstacles and hindrance this decision. First is their
financial status, if a student’s course is less expensive, and could be supported by
a parent and can afford the costs of the course. Also affecting student’s choice is
the family that has a huge impact on student decision making. And also, one that
could greatly affect a student's decision, is that some of their friends who are often
with the students are so influential that could easily affect the students course
decision making. Moreover, the students also think about the security and the
possible financial outcomes of the possible work after choosing its course.
It is important to take time to think before choosing, because it will help you
see the whole and different angles of the situation. The more knowledge of things
and circumstances, the clearer it will be found. The more time and time to think
about a solution, the greater the chance of being matched and it applies to the
things that are chosen or desired.
You are free to come to those who are trusted and can give you good
counsel. It can't be taken away from you because they are the people we run at a
time when we need help. They are the one who has a profound influence on who
we are. Although you have conscious mind and behavior, it's still not all the time
you can be blamed. We need the people around us to help us weigh, evaluate
things and guide us to the right decision.
Decision-making is the logical way of setting one’s mind to choose amidst
the possibilities to satisfy man’s ease. This is true as stated that good decision-
making is an essential skill for career success generally, and effective leadership
particularly. It is true that for an individual to be successful, the person must
possess good decision-making skills. Every day we make decisions, whether big
or small and these decisions can make huge impacts in our lives. As the person
progresses, his or her ability to decide improve, allowing the individual to make
better and wiser decision in life. Failure to make the right decision often leads to
downfall. Methodologically speaking, decision-making is not all fun and games,
some deal with people, others deal with future careers. Graduating high school
students face one of the most crucial decisions in their lives, and that is future
career decision. These students face the fact that this certain adjudication will
decide their future. Deciding on which college to attend to is not a “gut reaction”. It
requires mature and serious discussion, and may not, despite the long run, lead to
initial choice. However, during this crucial stage in each student’s life, there are
some factors in which results to confusion, and further lead to a mistake.
With action, we are able to choose choices, whether good or bad, therefore,
freedom is not just to do your own thing because it allows you to make a mistake
in making choices. It is advised to carefully evaluate life plans to be the basis for a
proper career path. a youth who wants freedom and wants to be free must instill in
his power to use his right and good choice.
Friends who are often with the youth are so enraged that the decisions they
should make are influenced by them. We usually hear from our parents that
education is the only resource they can give us and that no one can get it. In
addition to developing ourselves, we also have a duty to our surroundings. If each
student improves his or herself.
Some parents think that what they suggest to their children in what course
to pursue is better, yet they tend to ignore what their children desire. Other factors
include: financial stability, university prestige and of course, practicality. And
because of these, some students graduate in courses they do not really like. On
the other hand, others pursue their desired course with no doubt, and they were
able to graduate with high spirits. One of the suggested elucidations is for the
parents to talk with their children. Then it is up to the child whether they will agree
or not. Other solution involves letting the child decide on their own. Deciding for
oneself helps the individual to develop and progress in life
The researchers aim to guide the SHS students in Malindig Institute
Foundation Inc. whose having difficulties or hindrances by their choice of course,
This study also includes the effect of these factors to psychological aspect of the
youth. And finally, to make the readers understand the statement. It is also
important to assess the positive and negative impact it brings to the study.
At the stage where you are now, it is best to learn that life consists of many
choices. Everything in the world should be thought of. Everyone who does not
want to choose or to take a choice or take part in something or situation still
chooses an action or action: not choosing or not to intervene. Because man is
free and capable of choice.
