Abstract
The vocational pathways of a representative national sample of Australian school students (N = 1,201) were examined over a 7‐year period after the students left school. Results indicated that there was a disparity between the students' initial vocational interests and their occupations at the beginning of their careers. Only 21% of the students were in identical high‐point interest areas at initial assessment and 7 years later. The results suggested that there was a period of career exploration that was followed by adjustment to the labor market.
