Abstract: A significant task for students completing their high school education is determining what they will do during the next stage of their lives.

“…It is possible that the comprehensive nature of the ACT Assessment and PLAN and their integrated emphases on academic achievement, college planning, and career exploration provide a breadth of tailored information that students can use for postsecondary planning. These results, in fact, resemble those of an earlier study of a similar college planning and admissions measure used in the state of Washington that also provided multiple levels of academic and college planning information for students (Noeth et al, 1984).…”

“…An earlier version of the College Planning Survey had been used with collegebound seniors in the state of Washington (Noeth, Engen, & Noeth, 1984).

“…With regard to influence, our results accord with those of a number of other studies including one from Australia (Poole 1983) that the main external influence on career choice (including medical career choice, Heins et al 1982) is parental. Noeth et al (1984) review some of the evidence that supports this finding. However, their US study did find that more influence emanated from teachers than from career advisers, the reverse of our findings.…”

“…The role and influence of parents as partners in career planning of their children is however described by (Anderson,1992;Demo, Small,&Savin-Williams, 1987;Grotevant& Cooper, 1983) when they said that adolescents' self-esteem and ability to make decisions are related directly to the quality of parent-adolescent communication; as high school students have cited their parents as offering more assistance in career planning than teachers, counsellors or peers (Davies &Kandel, 1981;Noeth, Engen, &Noeth, 1984;Dowdy, Carter,& Smith, 1980). Even though parents are influential in the career development process of their children, and they often wish to be included, yet a specific role for parents is often not defined (McNair &Rusch, 1987).…”
