Abstract (Turkish): Meslek tercihi öğrencilerin hayatında önemli rol oynadıklarından, birçok araştırmacı öğrencilerin mesleki karar verme süreçlerini etkileyen araştırmalar yapmıştır. Bu çerçevede bu çalımada Türkiye'deki lise öğrencilerinin meslek seçiminin arkasındaki nedenler araştırılmıştır. Araştırmaya 71'i kız 50'si erkek olmak üzere toplam 121 öğrenci katılmıştır. Görüşmeler içerik analizi yapılarak analiz edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin meslek tercihi ile bu tercihi etkileyen faktörler arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymak için Ki-kare testi yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda, öğrencilerin meslek tercihini ilgileri, ilgi duydukları dersler, aile ve prestij faktörleri cinsiyet bağlamında da etkili olurken, örneğin eğitim daha çok kızlar tarafından seçilen bir melek olurken, mühendislik daha çok erkekler tarafından seçilmiştir. Diğer taraftan, iş ve gelir imkanı, rehber öğretmen ve okul türü öğrencilerin meslek seçiminden bağımsız olduğu bulunmuştur. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
