Career choice will reflect the values of the student. Ex; A student who believes in the rule of law is more likely to pursue a career in law enforcement.

Some professions have a stereotyped gender identity that will infleunce student career choice. Ex; Women are more likely to work in education, health, and clerical. Men are more likely to work in managerial, STEM, and physically demanding jobs.

A student's experiences in early childhood will impact their career choice. Ex; People who experience adverse childhoods are more likely to service children in adulthood.
