Abstract
The article considers the study of motives of upper secondary education students for their professional identity. The article provides the rationale for studying main motives behind the appropriate choice of a profession by senior students. The empirical enquiry has revealed that the graduates choosing the professions dealing with performing operational tasks the main motives for choosing the profession, though not typical for most students, are “dynastic choice”, “situated and pragmatic choice”, and “free choice”. It has been found that among the students who have made their choice in favor of military professions and those who haven’t there is almost equal number of graduates with a middle level of professional military motivation. The study has found the correlation between the following motives for profession choice: “parental influence”, “dynastic choice”, “free choice”, “subject choice”, “television factor”, and the level of professional military motivation. The results of the study help to identify further steps in helping students make a meaningful choice of a profession.
