(Dr. Nancy T. Pascual,2022) -Respect for the family is one of the most
influential factors that impact Filipino students' career decisions. It has concurred
that “Out of respect and loyalty, it may not be appropriate to express personal
desires; rather, one may alter one’s interests to maintain harmony.” As a sign of
respect, Filipino children want to do well for the sake of the family, follow their
parents’ advice about choosing a job or major in college, and lastly, make
sacrifices for the family. For practical reasons, it is also reported that parents
usually encourage careers that will not cost much money, but at the same time,

(SCCT); this theory states that people choose careers based upon their beliefs in
their ability to perform the job (Bandura, 1977). In other words, people are
motivated by careers that require skills that they believe they have and are
confident they can be successful in that job. Self-efficacy comes from individuals’
verbal persuasion, and from physiological states and arousal. Bandura also
