Investigation of Vocational Interest and Preference in Terms of Gender and Socio-economic Status

Öz

Individuals tend to prefer a vocation in order to
reach their targets such as leading a life, nutrition, housing, being safe,
having a good position in society etc. It is a task of the adolescence period
to choose a vocation which is for some the most important step of the life,
while for some others it is a rather important step in life however that can
be changed and made flexible any time. All studies which are examined,
show that vocational interest and vocational preference are affected by a
great deal of variables
