Popis: | This research examines the interest of high school students to continue their studies for a particular degree and the reasons for this choice by sex. We used a cross-sectional research design with survey. The results show that women chose mainly degrees of Humanities, Experimental Sciences, Social Sciences and Law and Health Sciences and their main reasons were because they like them as a vocation and to help others, while the men would prefer to study a degree of Technical Education to earn a good salary. The relevance of individualized vocational guidance to ensure equal opportunities is discussed. |
