The comparative analysis of life perspective of students with different value profile is conducted.The research showed that all students have a program of their own actions in the long run, which influences the formation of their life perspective in the process of professional education. The young boys and girls give a steadily important role to material well-being and prosperity in their lives. In the future the importance of the family sphere grows. Also future psychologists gradually give more importance to health in the life perspective. Significant recession is observed in determining the importance of leisure. Insignificant variations are observed in determining the role of personal self-fulfillment, work and career. Indexes of the public sphere role in life perspective are consistently low. It was proved that the future psychologists have formed the system of value orientations, as all the respondents without exeptions have the meaningful value blocks allocated. The analysis of meaningful value blocks proved the predominance of students’ individual values.The construction of the students’ life perspectives relates mostly to the conviction that some ultimate goal of individual existence from the personal and social point of view is worth pursuing. In general, the determination of future professionals’ life perspectives demonstrated the presence of a certain program of their own actions in the long run and the presence of the dynamics of ideas about the future.
