Abstract

Selecting the appropriate course is critical for a student who has not yet decided which career path to pursue, especially during this pandemic. The study's primary objective was to determine students' career interests in senior high school to prepare them for college better. The researcher used a descriptive research design to investigate the research objectives and gain a new understanding of the collected data. The respondents were 50 Senior High School HUMSS students enrolled in Bestlink College of the Philippines SY 2021-2022 using a simple random sampling technique. Researchers used an online survey questionnaire (Google Forms) to collect and sum up data on the five factors, using a five-point Likert scale for each one and analyzing the responses from those who took the survey. Results revealed that the factors influencing a student's decision to enroll in college are Student Performance, Time Management, Financial Status, and Learning Environment. The findings imply that the various factors influencing students' choices are adaptable regardless of age or gender.
