The result obtained from the study show that, illiterate parents have little or
no time to their children's education children from educated home background

parents have no interest in their children academic growth, parents are not a
factor influencing the choice of career among their children. Furthermore,
there is no significant different between children from educated home towards
Education of given the necessary motivation.
This is due to the fact that a consideration number of children live
without parental support, as in orphans, children living in the streets,
displaced and refused children who on account of the poverty of their parents
are subjected to inhuman and sadistic ordeals.

CHAPTER ONE
1.1BACKGROUND
OF STUDY
Career play
a very fundamental and significant role in the life of the individual not only
because they determine the pattern of income but also because they affect the
individual personality and concepts in life, career therefore is a choose
pursuit, life work or success in one's profession occupied by a person
throughout his/her lifetime. In a
nutshell, career is the totality of work one does in his life time and is
person centred it is of utmost importance to every individual as he or she
prepares for the future.
Career choice is something very hard
to decide, especially as his life will depend on it. Her (2003) indicated that,
career is the totality of experience through which one learns about and
prepares to engage in work as part of his way of living ' Splete (12001) Stress
career is an enjoying process that occurs over the life span and includes
homes, schools and community. Every human being needs to do one job or the
other to help contribute his quote to the development of the country.
Ipaye (2000) refers to the need for
one to discuss with one's peer school counsellors, parents and teachers on the
need to choose a life span work as “career convention” or “career conference”.
However, career convention according to him is an instrument of career
information. This occurs for a number of reasons, which includes:
1. To stimulate career thinking and
widen occupational horizon.
2. To focus attention on particular
jobs in order to help an individual crystallizes his preference.
3. To create a situation in which
parents can on one hand meet employers and discuss the opportunities they offer
and on the other hand meet the career teachers or career officers with whom
they can exchange views.
Work
experience during industrial training or those experiences acquired during
vocational education also aids the students in choice of career. This is a
techniques in which students do job under realistic conditions without payment
this may help them choose a career to that effect.
James (2004) Observes that the
influence home has on the child's learning is the fundamental concepts of
life. This cause and most of the habits
and basic adjustment were established during pre-school years. The highlights
the fact that home and parents occupy the most important position in the
child’s education. It should be stressed that work experience is not an attempt
to find job for the students but an attempt to widen the horizons of students
and ease the ultimate transition from school to work. This is usually based on
the information given to the school by the parents, such guidance and
information are necessary because most school children are adolescents and are
controlled by double standards, hypocrisy, truancy, materialism, dishonesty
etc. .
The factor that may influence choice
of career includes.
- Socio-economic factors
- Personal or family factors
- Cultural factors, which include
schools, peer group, age and work experience.
The effect of parental influence on choice of career is both negative
and positive this is due to: security factors
- No usual hazards to health
- Assured steady income
- Certainty of continued employment
- Career or occupational
satisfaction
- Prestige
- Social rewards.
To increase
students interest and ability to use his hands and brains, the parents, must be
involved to give desired assistance/guidance to the students.
1.2STATEMENT
OF PROBLEM
This
research is based on the effect of parental influences on the choice of career
among secondary school students in Egor Local Government Area of Edo State. The
parents may desire what they think is good or best for their ward.
This may
affect the child positively if the child can cope with it but negatively when
such a child has other things in mind, which he/she wishes to do. The result of
this is that the child may not concentrate on the parents needs and so may not
adjust positively towards the career. This sometimes leads to students
waywardness, secrete cult involvement, armed robbery and so on. The child may
not cope with the parents continual force against his/her will.
The world is
marking such drastic demand upon the coming workers every truthful man and
woman every teaches and reflecting parents is planning way to fit the students
for the life and needs of this new century. This statement which is still
relevant today was written by Mejer Bloomfield in his book ‘finding ones place
in life in (2007) since the early 2000 career development or vocational
guidance at it was then known has increasingly gained more and more attention
and respect in essence career counselling is a specialty within the profession
of counselling one that fosters vocationally development and work adjustment of
individual abilities interest and goals with the work roles structured by the
community and occupation organised by companies and assist a developing and
deciding individual to make suitable and viable choice why examine the factors
affecting career choice on senior secondary school students, in the past and
even now for many. It was assumed that on individual going through late
adolescent would be developing their independence and slowly eliminating his or
her family’s constraints as he or she formed his or her own identity into the
larger word in effect the person would make career decision based on his or her
own interest research and occupational goals with limited influence from
others. Infact even when young adult move away from home, their family will
likely still have a strong influence upon them on two significant life events
marriage and their career.
