Abstract

This research was conducted to determine trends in the career interests of high school students in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. The sample size was 981 consisting of 488 men and 493 women. The instrument used was a career interest scale that was compiled based on Holland's theory with six RIASEC domains (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional). The study design uses non-experimental, data collection through questionnaires given directly. Data were analyzed descriptively without using an explicit theoretical model. The career fields that are in high demand by high school students are the conventional fields that reach 42.30%, while the less desirable areas are the investigative fields which are only 3.98%. There are differences in career interests between men and women. Men prefer more realistic, artistic and enterprising fields, while women prefer social and conventional fields. © 2020 The Author(s)
