“…Therefore, career guidance counselors, teachers, parents, and other stakeholders should consider the personal interests and abilities of students when guiding them about career choices. In support, Leung (2008) and Super (1980) asserted adolescents are at a stage when they are starting to develop attitudes toward work, make career-related choices, and acquire job-related skills.…”

“…This could be done through competitions for report and speech writing, ensuring that all members participate in leadership positions within or outside of their clubs, as well as intra-and inter-club contests. In addition, the Ministry of Education and Sports in Uganda should encourage more schools to establish YFCs because they could be venues where students improve on and develop further in these areas while exploring their career interests (Alfeld et al, 2007;Gruber & Beatty, 1954;Johnston, 1952;Leung, 2008;Shumow, 2003;Super, 1980).

“…According to Super's (1990) career development stages, children in kindergarten are at the illusion stage of growth and so rely more on intuitive thinking (Leung, 2008).

Occupational aspirations have mainly been investigated with teenagers, high school students, and adults. Following Gottfredson's (1981Gottfredson's ( , 2002 theory of circumscription and compromise, in which it is proposed that occupational aspirations originate in the preschool years, in this study the occupational aspirations of 1,044 preschool children in Taiwan were explored. Children who attended 38 kindergartens and were between the ages of 5 and 6, expressed their preferences about and gender orientations towards occupations and careers. In general, the occupations Taiwanese children said they most desired to pursue were teaching, being police officers, and working as doctors. Most children can recognize the occupations of their parents at this stage, and the results in this research show that children still identify strongly with their parents' stereotypical occupations. More boys than girls showed a preference for masculine-dominated occupations. More girls than boys showed a preference for nontraditional occupations. Factors that influence occupational aspirations were found to be parental identification and identifying with the role of teachers.

In order to investigate the self identity and vocational identity among community youth in Shanghai and their associated spatial experience, 4 focus groups, made up of 14 individuals were interviewed. We assigned numbers to indicate each interviewee as well as the general theme of each transcription of the interview. Results are as follows: community youth are in a transitional period in their lives, especially in regards to self concept, family, and how they experience their role in society; there is a notable distance between reality and the ideal career goals; the family space and community space have distinct characteristics for community youth, and there are specific interactive patterns that exist between the two types of spaces. Based on these results, we have introduced several insights into career guidance for this population.
