Abstract
The study investigated the preferred careers of senior high school (S.H.S) students in Ghana using Holland’s classification of work environments. The participants comprised 364 SHS students who were selected from four senior high schools in Koforidua through the use of multi-stage sampling technique. Data were analysed with the use of frequencies, percentages and rank order. The findings of the study showed that Social careers prevailed as the most preferred among SHS students in Ghana. Artistic careers were ranked second, followed by Conventional and Enterprising careers respectively. Investigative careers were the least in rank order. The implications for counselling for these findings were emphasised.
